Frequently Asked Questions
Monarch curriculum uses mastery learning techniques to promote independent cognitive reasoning and educate your student to apply what they learn to real-life situations. This faith-based, fully-online homeschool program offers assignment screens that show both students and parents daily assignments, due dates, grades, progress, and more.
Recordkeeping is quick and painless for parents. Approximately 85% of your student's work is graded automatically. From the reports section of the parent dashboard, report cards, grade reports, and daily work reports can easily be generated as often as necessary. These records can be used for your state, other schools, and college admissions if required.
Real-time content updates automatically to keep the AOP curriculum current and the secure data storage keeps a student's academic record for seven years.
While a tablet or phone might work for some of the content, we strongly recommend against it. The best experience is on a desktop or laptop computer.
Accreditation is verification by an outside agency that a school is meeting appropriate expectations and is actively pursuing excellence by improving school standards. Because Monarch is not a school, it cannot be accredited. If you’re seeking accreditation, consider Ignite Christian Academy, the official online school of AOP.
Homeschooling is legal in all 50 states. You can familiarize yourself with the homeschooling laws in your state with this helpful reference from HSLDA.

New Monarch grade assessments are coming soon.

From there, you are encouraged to read the scope and sequence for your choice on the individual course page to confirm your grade selected is the best match.
Mastery placement tests are provided for 1st through 8th grade as well as 7th through 12th grade. Instructions for scoring and evaluation of test results are provided in the answer key pages.
