Build Your Year

Why a kit makes the first year easier

One decision, not twelve

Every book for grammar, writing, Latin, and history in one purchase, so nothing is forgotten.

Subjects that work together

A consistent teaching style and CAP's beautiful texts, with skills introduced and reinforced across each discipline.

Room to adjust

Kits pair texts that build on each other. If your student hasn't used a prerequisite, we'll help you swap a level.

Placing your student

Many of our curriculum series contain texts that strategically build on each other. Although our grade kits recommend and pair certain texts for convenience and continuity, if your student has not taken the prerequisite text, it may not be right for them. We encourage parents to review the sample content on each grade kit page (particularly the 5th/6th and 6th/7th grade kits) before finalizing their purchase.

If your student requires a Grade Kit using a different combination of texts, reach out to our sales team at info@classicalsubjects.com and we can help you pair your kit to your student.

Grade Kits are designed for a single student. Changes are made to one curriculum line per kit, to a different level of that same line; additional changes remove the bundle discount.
