Do you need a Custom Nonreligious Second-Grade Curriculum?
This year you will love helping your child improve his reading, math, and thinking skills. He will study the five core science disciplines, learn about the Middle Ages, and build 40 rugged STEM models. With creative art, engaging logic games, and exploration of geography and culture around the world, this year will be a year packed with happy memories for both of you!

We asked parents who used our Nonreligious Second-Grade Kit how long their student spent on "school." Nearly all of them estimated that they spent 2-3 hours a day on their kit, for 4-5 days a week. That variation is likely to be impacted by how in-depth you take your child's studies, what your child's learning approach is, how distractible he is, and much more. You’ll be able to plan yours to work best for you with your access to the online Timberdoodle Scheduler, included with your kit. Make sure you allow yourself and your child some time to find your own rhythm!
