  What Course Should I Take? (see frequently asked questions at bottom of page) 

WriteAtHome is a multi-year solution to writing instruction. Any single writing course will be of great benefit to students; however, we firmly believe that the craft of writing is subtle and complex, requiring years to fully develop. We therefore recommend long-term thinking when it comes to enrolling in our courses. You are, of course, free to change your mind later, but to get the most out of WriteAtHome, plan for multiple years of writing instruction.

With this in mind, below is our recommended course sequence for those joining us at different grade levels. These are merely recommendations. If you have particular needs or questions, feel free to contact us at placement@writeathome.com and we’ll be happy to help you design a custom course sequence for your family.
