Compare Edmentum Exact Path with us
Edmentum Exact Path is a program schools use to find and fill skill gaps. We place your child in every subject they study, from science to electives, then teach the school year from there.
A supplemental path or a full curriculum
Edmentum Exact Path is a Kindergarten through Grade 12 program built for educators and sold to schools and districts. A Proficiency component adds science and social studies practice for Grades 3 through 12, and one state listing calls Exact Path a supplemental online curriculum.
Exact Path measures and fills gaps in math and reading; our placement starts every subject your child studies, and the lessons that follow are the whole curriculum.
Where your child starts
Exact Path begins with diagnostics in math, reading, and language arts. Their results automatically assign the student's path, with instruction and practice aimed at the gaps those assessments found.
To start your child where they actually are, we write a placement test for each subject. It has 25 questions, or 12 for younger learners, and it adapts as your child answers.
From every answer, we estimate where your child is solid but not yet finished, and that's where they start. Each subject is placed on its own, so your child might begin in the middle of fourth-grade math and the beginning of fifth-grade reading. In grades 3 to 12, a child who prefers paper can print the free placement test, then upload a photo of the answer sheet for grading.
What a school day looks like
An Exact Path student follows the assigned learning path. It combines instruction and practice on the gaps found by the diagnostic, as part of the school's wider teaching program.
Our Parent Dashboard lays out today's lessons by subject. You can build the week around your family's hours and print it for the fridge.
Interactive articles weave in your child's interests, with images and videos made for them. Reading checks confirm understanding, then your child applies the idea in a project, such as optimizing lap times for F1 or working out a rocket’s fuel load.
When your child gets stuck
Exact Path adjusts the learning path when a student struggles. The educator running the program also provides support, so help comes from the adaptive work and the people using its results.
Our Always-On Mentor sits beside every reading and project, so help is there the moment your child needs it.
The mentor also steps in on its own when your child seems stuck, explains the idea another way, and can make it visual by drawing on its board. In a reading check or a project, it guides your child's thinking without giving the answer away.
Learning to keep a notebook
From Grade 3, our readings offer an optional Notebook guide to help your child organize their learning. It encourages lesson headings and unit labels, and the printable guide offers tips for taking notes in their own words rather than copying the article.
The guide encourages your child to note where they struggled and how they got past it. One tip is to star a useful takeaway, then gather those takeaways into a review page. When your child scans and uploads their notebook pages, we help them remember those ideas and shape practice problems around the places they struggled.
Who grades the work
Exact Path's diagnostic results determine which skills are assigned next. The program uses that evidence to direct practice, while the school uses it within the student's wider course of study.
We grade everything your child submits as soon as they submit it, so grading never lands on you. When your child gets something wrong, we help them work through it, and projects come back with feedback so they can revise them.
Records, state paperwork, and the transcript
At TheHomeschoolingCompany, your child's school record builds as they work: daily check-ins log attendance, and everything they finish is saved automatically. Attendance logs and learning summaries are ready to export, and we draft the documents your state asks for from that same record, including portfolios with real work samples.
Our high school transcript builds from completed work, with courses, letter grades, credits, and GPA calculated for you.
