Built by a father for family teaching.

Christian Classical Homeschool was created by Kurt Doughty, a father of four, nondenominational Christian preacher, and retired United States Marine. His final Marine Corps duty station was Marine Helicopter Squadron One—HMX-1, the Presidential Helicopter Squadron. He also studied electrical and robotics engineering at Indiana State University.

Kurt first built this companion for his own family. He wanted something that would help a parent sit down, open the Bible or lesson, and confidently teach the next day without turning the home into an institution or the parent into a record-keeping clerk.

Who writes and checks the lessons

Kurt is the principal author and maintainer of the built-in curriculum. Lessons are checked with automated coverage and phonics-sequence tests, Scripture and source audits, and independent code and content reviews. These safeguards are meant to expose mistakes rather than make the work sound infallible. They are not accreditation, and they do not replace a parent's judgment or direct reading of Scripture and sources.

What guides the curriculum

Scripture is treated as the final authority. Facts are distinguished from inference, interpretation, tradition, and preference. Children should inherit knowledge, worthy stories, and a grateful love for their home and country. Heroes may be admired honestly without turning legends into historical facts or replacing gratitude with cynicism.

Formation policy: Scripture is the final authority, and New Testament teaching is not filtered through a denominational standard. The built-in lessons teach the Lord’s Prayer as Jesus’ words in Scripture, provide weekly Scripture memory and Bible-text questions, and offer hymns as optional family memory. They do not require a human creed, denominational catechism, or church-calendar observance. Families remain free to add other biblical memory and congregational or home practices.

Kurt and his wife have been married for more than seventeen years and are raising four children. Christian Classical Homeschool remains an independent, parent-built project. It is not an official publication of a congregation, school, denomination, the United States Marine Corps, HMX-1, or Indiana State University.

What is built now

• Preschool / Pre-K: a complete 36-week gentle course with written-out parent guidance for four short daily blocks and an optional fifth-day family review.
• Kindergarten: a complete 36-week, 180-day built-in course.
• Grade 1: a complete 36-week, 180-day built-in course with daily parent guidance across Bible, reading and spelling, grammar and writing, mathematics, rotating knowledge studies, and Latin.
• Grade 2: a complete 36-week, 180-day built-in course with 936 lesson records. The authored lesson map is complete but has been tested by fewer families so far; family testing is still needed to confirm pacing, clarity, and learning outcomes before wider promotion.
• Grade 3: a complete 36-week, 180-day built-in course with 936 lesson records, progression checkpoints, multiplication/division and fractions, evidence reading, and multi-paragraph writing. The authored lesson map is complete but has been tested by fewer families so far; family testing is still needed to confirm pacing, clarity, and learning outcomes before wider promotion.
• Grade 4: a new complete 36-week, 180-day course preview with 936 lesson records; family testing is needed to establish pacing and clarity.
• Grade 5: a complete 36-week, 180-day course with 936 lesson records and a successful full-year technical review; family testing is still needed to establish pacing, clarity, and learning outcomes.
• Grade 6: a complete authored 36-week, 180-day Logic Stage course with 936 lesson records, supplied reading and evidence cards, five daily core lessons, alternating history/science, and Friday Latin. This new course has not yet been validated with families; pacing, lesson clarity, and learning outcomes remain unproven.

Grades 7–12: planning and record-keeping paths for families using their own materials. They are not built-in daily courses yet.

The app is currently free while family testing continues; no paid plan or subscription is currently offered. Preschool through Grade 6 are open for family review, with Kindergarten currently receiving the deepest learning-evidence review. If access or pricing changes, families will receive plain notice before any paid plan begins; no family will be charged without choosing it.
