Phase 2 — Detailed Family Guide ships in a future quarter
The architecture for Grade 3 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 3 works in KFA.
Grade 3 opens Stage 2 (Foundations) and begins the family's first multi-age Cycle. Older and younger siblings can read alongside one another in the same biblical narrative. Math becomes more procedural; literature becomes the spine of language arts. ABC monthly modules give the child a vocabulary for what's happening inside them.
