Phase 2 — Detailed Family Guide ships in a future quarter
The architecture for Grade 2 is canonized in the Master Curriculum. The fleshed weekly Family Guide ships in Phase 2 (post-launch June 13, 2026). Kindergarten is the only year fully detailed today.
What to Expect
How Grade 2 works in KFA.
Grade 2 closes Stage 1. The child can read, write, and reason at a meaningful threshold — and the family marks the transition with the *First Stones* full capstone (the year-end three-stone family liturgy). The next year the child enters Foundations and begins Family Cycle A: Creation to Christ. Detailed Family Guide for Grade 2 ships in Phase 2.
