Your child learns to build with AI and check its work.

By , founder of TheHomeschoolingCompany. Reviewed .

Your child picks a goal, uses AI to research and build, and learns to check the results. We build the course, teach every lesson, and keep the records.

A lesson built around your child

The biggest speedups come from the work that already eats your week, not from the newest tool.

Lesson
Find the hours AI can give back
Goal
Audit one real week and pick the task where AI saves you the most time.
AI Acceleration lesson "Find the hours AI can give back": the lesson opening, its goal, and its project

How a lesson works

  1. The reading

    “Find the hours AI can give back” opens with “Start with your week, not the tool.”

  2. Help inside the reading

    When an AI result looks right, our Always-On Mentor can ask your child how they checked it before they rely on it. Your child can also highlight any line of “Find the hours AI can give back” to ask about it or ask for a visual, and the mentor offers help on its own when they seem stuck.

  3. A check a quarter of the way in

    Your child answers “Why does the article say to audit your week before choosing an AI tool?” before reading on, and the Reading Check at the end asks new questions.

A project your child hands in

Describe a real website you need, build it with AI one checked feature at a time, and publish it, keeping a log of what you decided and how long it took.

Units and skills

Teaches students to multiply what they can do with AI: find the work worth handing off, brief AI tools well, check what comes back, and build systems that let one student learn, research, and build at the pace of a small team. AI Acceleration is one skill tree for every grade with 12 units, from what AI can do for you to “Capstone: do what used to take a team”, and your child's grade sets how deep each unit goes.

Questions parents ask

Who is the course for?

Students in grades 6 to 12. No coding experience is needed. The course starts from what your child can already do with AI and raises the difficulty from there.

Which AI tools do the lessons use?

Lessons use tools such as ChatGPT, Claude Code, and Codex as examples. The skills are the same across tools, so they carry to whatever your child uses next.

Does AI Acceleration teach my kid to cheat with AI?

No. Lessons name what the AI agent does and where your child has to check or approve its work, and the course teaches your child to test AI output before trusting it.

How does AI Acceleration get my child started with AI agents?

It starts with one real task your child already does, such as research for a report or a weekly chore. The first units teach how to brief an AI agent, check its work, and decide what to hand off next.

How much will I need to teach?

None of the teaching. The course teaches every lesson and grades each project as soon as it is submitted. The mentor answers questions as your child works. You only help with tool access; you never design a project or teach an AI tool yourself.

Can I use the record for high-school planning?

Yes. The subject record holds every graded assignment with its written feedback, ready to export. We generate a transcript from the course records, ready for you to sign.

Try AI Acceleration on a goal your child cares about.

Your child picks a goal on the first day, and the course builds the first unit around it.
