The 32-week curriculum, out in the open.
One framework, four age tracks, eight modules, 32 instructional weeks. Every fourth week is a build, challenge, assessment or showcase. The same curriculum powers instruction, program pages, the Skill Passport and your progress reports.
Discover → Learn → Practice → Build → Prove
Every week follows the same rhythm, scaled to the age track — so a 7-year-old and a 16-year-old run the same 32-week spine at the right difficulty.

Workshop Foundations
Every track opens here: the shop, the rules, the tools, precision measurement and a first project that actually works.
Skill tree
BUILD
KNOW · USE · BUILD · MASTER
Every skill has four states, each individually marked complete by an instructor. A badge is never a participation trophy.
KNOW
Can explain the concept.
USE
Can perform it safely with assistance.
BUILD
Can use it in a completed project.
MASTER
Can perform it independently and teach it.
Example
Tape Measure
75% mastered
Knows the tool, uses it with assistance, uses it in a build — mastering it independently comes next.
Motivation, not a grade.
XP rewards showing up and putting in the reps. It is never used to grade students academically, and it never overrides actual skill mastery.

Texas Education Freedom Accounts
Planning for TEFA, honestly.
Texas Education Freedom Accounts can award eligible students up to $2,000 annually, and approved education-related expenses include certain educational services, courses, materials, tutoring and programs that train for approved industry credentials. KTA designs every homeschool program with those requirements in mind.
Until KTA and a specific offering are actually approved, we won't imply that any program is TEFA-covered. Where you see a "TEFA Accepted" marker on a registration card, that program has been confirmed by us — and only that program.

Give them something real to finish.
Founding families get early access to class registration, camps, special events and opening offers — before we open the doors to everyone else.
