This single day course is to give you a taste of what Discern Academy is and offers.

The free course is based on a single day as a sixth-grade student.

If your student is a different grade, we still recommend completing this free day as you will have a great idea of how Discern Academy works.

Each grade level is more complex and builds on the previous year's concepts and lessons.

"Good evening, Yes! He was so excited to tell me when I arrived home from work that he got a 95 and he got it first try all by himself! I feel like I finally have a kid who enjoys reading and can write a sentence without a total crash out. You have no idea how big of a difference your program made for him. I truly cannot thank you enough for all of this. And the upcharge for not having to do the grading or critiquing... so worth it to us! Thank you so much."

“Discern has truly been such a gift for our family and an added bonus to our homeschool. My son started off not loving to read, and now he can’t put books down. The literature choices have helped him think deeper and apply the stories to Biblical truths. He has also grown in his vocabulary and confidence in reading and writing. We’ve been able to have some good discussions from the novels he’s read. If you have a child that is apprehensive about reading and writing- this homeschool curriculum is what they need! As a parent I love the format, videos, and that I can be involved as little or as much as I want.”

"Discern Academy has been an answer to prayer for our son.  The books are captivating with a God centered focus.  The lessons are challenging but not overwhelming.  Our son, who is dyslexic, is enjoying and learning at the same time."

Discern Academy has been a powerful tool for our family. Some teachers simply pass along information, but Discern imparts a true passion for learning, critical thinking, and writing—and it teaches students to take ownership of their educational experience. Our junior high daughter looks forward to every lesson and tells us it’s her favorite part of the school day. A lot of programs tell you what they hope to do; Discern actually does it, with excellence and genuine engagement. I see what she’s learned showing up in her other subjects and in everyday life skills

Discern Academy has been an incredible gift to our homeschool routine. It gives my child the opportunity to think critically, engage deeply, and actually read rich, classic literature in a way that fits beautifully into the rhythm of our family and schedule. As a parent, I am so grateful. There is no way I could personally teach at this caliber or with this level of depth on my own. Discern is providing a quality of knowledge, instruction, and formation that I know will help my child not just learn, but truly thrive.
