đź“– Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Is your curriculum accredited?

Answer: Curriculum itself does not receive accreditation—only schools do. However, if you're enrolled in our Teacher Moderated program, the courses are taught by a credentialed educator, which may help with transcript validation. Always check with your local homeschool laws and umbrella schools for reporting requirements.

2. Is this curriculum aligned with state standards?

Answer: Our courses are designed to meet or exceed the content expectations of most U.S. high school standards. While we do not follow any state’s exact curriculum guide, we ensure coverage of foundational historical events, civics knowledge, and critical thinking skills needed for academic success.

3. Is this a religious or secular curriculum?

Answer: Liberty Heights Academy is a non-religious, values-based program. We do not include religious doctrine or theology in our materials. Our focus is on balanced, historically accurate instruction with a respect for American principles and a recognition of all people’s experiences.

4. How much time does it take each day?

Answer: Most students spend 45–60 minutes per day, five days per week. You can move faster or slower depending on your student’s needs. Our pacing guide is flexible and self-directed.
