Todd Academy, Inc. utilizes an integrated curriculum to allow students to get a complete sense of subject material. Although students are in a grade, if the material is too easy and their mastery of the subject are complete, then they may take the next higher level of that class.
This often leads to junior high students having high school credit in subjects where they have material mastery (90% or above). It occasionally leads students to needing additional time in a subject that requires more time for them to master.
This is one of the reasons we have a list of classes that students may take at the college when they have completed the mastery of lower subjects. Additional reading is part of the Todd Academy, Inc. curriculum. You may look at the current reading list in this website.
