How it works
Watch the four steps
A 45-second walkthrough of daily packets, pacing and credit tracking.
Two longer tours: everything a parent sees after the curriculum is paid for, and everything a student sees on their own login.

A full walkthrough of ordering, shipping, approvals, Snap it grading, the transcript builder and billing.
Student portal tour
What a student sees: their own login, the daily packet, lesson details and the calendar.
Step 1
Kindergarten, junior high, short high school days, or a diploma plus both degrees? Pick the structure that fits right now. You enroll one grade at a time, so you can change paces at each grade and decide on the college pathway later.
Step 2
Each school day already has its work laid out: which lessons, which course, which project is due. No planning, no guessing what comes next.
Step 3
Finish the packet and you're done for the day. Some days are quick, some take longer — the packet is the plan, not the clock. Get ahead and tomorrow's packet is waiting.
Step 4
Credits are tracked against your state's graduation requirements, and college coursework is mapped to competency projects course by course.
Every grade covers what Illinois expects: language arts, math, science, social science with U.S. history and government, fine arts, health and daily physical development — plus the Constitution test before 8th grade ends. Reading and math come every day; the rest rotate so a young student's morning stays short.
16 full-year courses, 100 lessons each — the required credits only, no electives. Your pace decides how many run at once.
After the high school diploma is signed off, students transition into Degree Forward through Southern New Hampshire University. Degree Forward handles enrollment and financial aid; Quick Academy keeps the calendar and project due dates. Courses are competency-based: instead of sitting through lectures, you submit a project to prove you know the material, then move on. Associate credits transfer into any of the bachelor's degrees below.
The widest transfer path. Every credit carries into any bachelor's below. 20 courses.
General education plus the clinical-business core hospitals look for. 20 courses.
The degree I finished at twenty. Broad business and leadership core. 20 courses.
Writing, media and public speaking for people who work with words. 20 courses.
Run the business side of clinics, hospitals and care networks. 20 courses.
Competency-based programs are usually billed per term rather than per course, so finishing faster can cost less. Our founder's own two degrees came out to roughly $1,500 out of pocket after federal student aid. Founder's individual experience. Costs, aid eligibility, admission and requirements are set by the institution and will differ for your family.
College degrees are awarded by the applicable accredited institution, not Quick Academy. Admission, tuition, financial aid, transfer and application of credits, degree requirements and graduation are all determined by that institution or provider.
You enroll one grade at a time. Once Quick Academy buys that grade's curriculum, the full curriculum cost is yours — monthly payments are installments toward it, not a rental.
Quick Academy is a curriculum, planning and recordkeeping service for homeschooling families. It is not an accredited school and does not award an accredited diploma or degree. The parent or guardian remains the educational authority for the homeschool.
