A: If you wish to keep track of scores for each of your students, they will not be able to use the same copy of the program.

Q: Do you offer tutoring?
A: No, we do not have tutors on staff.

Q: I see geometry and some other material replicated in a couple of the digital curriculum.
A: Yes, this is by design. In some cases, a topic is covered with more depth, adding complexity, in later levels. For instance, parabolas are graphed on the origin in Algebra I, and off the origin in Algebra II. Some important material is also reviewed at the beginning of a text to make sure students retain vital skills. The most significant overlap is in geometry. Some prefer to spend a year on geometry, and Kinetic Books provides a geometry textbook. Some do not - and those would find significant portions of geometry covered in pre-algebra (solids and essentials of angles). The main things students would miss by skipping geometry are (a) a significant focus on proofs and (b) much more coverage of triangles and quadrilateral figures.

Q: What do we do if we replace our computer?
A: All of your student's progress and scoring is kept on our servers. This allows you to access the content from multiple computers without worry. If you decide to move to a different computer, just refer to your email (or web store account) for the download location of the installer and you are welcome to install on any additional computers you like.
