Phase 1: Stabilize & Align
First 90 days with ARKTIK Homeschool & University Prep
Phase 1 is where we reset the rhythm, establish trust, and align your student to a realistic working level using the ARKTIK textbook spine and EDU tenant.
This is not a “crisis-only” track. Phase 1 is the on-ramp for:
Families new to homeschooling
Micro-schools and co-ops launching a new cohort
Students shifting from traditional schools to a more tailored, access-aware model
GT and independent learners who need structure without losing autonomy
The outcome: after 90 days, everyone knows what’s happening, why, and what’s next.
Who Phase 1 Is For
Phase 1 is where we reset the rhythm, establish trust, and align your student to a realistic working level using the ARKTIK textbook spine and EDU tenant.
This is not a “crisis-only” track. Phase 1 is the on-ramp for:

What We Do in the First 90 Days
In Phase 1, we focus on three things:
Stabilize the Week
Build a predictable Monday–Friday rhythm anchored to ARKTIK textbooks and workbooks.
Lock in “what happens when” so the student (and adults) are not improvising every day.
Align Level and Materials
Select ARKTIK texts based on age, current performance, and long-term targets.
Make sure reading load, problem sets, and writing tasks are ambitious but doable.
Start a Clean Record of Work
Use simple planners and binders (plus the EDU tenant, if you choose) to capture:
Weekly plans
Key assignments
Short reflections or Conference Guide notes
No clinical or diagnostic data—just homework, habits, and progress.
The Phase 1 Weekly Engine
Every week follows the same backbone. Content changes; structure doesn’t.
Monday – Textbook Load-In
Core reading and direct instruction from ARKTIK textbooks
Short notes, highlights, or annotations to prove comprehension
Tuesday – Workbook Application
Targeted practice in ARKTIK workbooks
Short responses, problem sets, and skill checks tied to Monday’s reading
Wednesday – Polish & Anchor
Review and refine Tuesday’s work
Choose one piece to “polish” for the week’s mini-portfolio
Thursday – Checks & Conversation
Short, focused quizzes or mastery checks
A simple 1:1 conversation using ARKTIK prompts:
What did you learn?
What was hard?
What do we adjust next week?
Friday – File & Reset
File the week’s best work in a binder or digital portfolio
Update the weekly planner and capture any notes for future reference
This same engine works for:
A student using paper + pencil only
A family using the ARKTIK EDU tenant to upload samples
A micro-school running a small group with shared materials
How We Adapt for Different Learners
Phase 1 is one structure with different loads:
Access & Stability Learners
Lower initial volume; more repetition
Strong emphasis on predictable routines and clear success markers
On-Level Learners
Standard pacing with gradual increases in complexity
Balanced mix of reading, practice, and short writing
GT / Independent Learners
Same weekly skeleton, but:
Deeper reading or enrichment paths
Independent projects linked to the core texts
Optional advanced prompts and “stretch” assignments
In all cases, the pattern stays the same so everyone around the student can follow it.
What You Walk Away With After 90 Days
By the end of Phase 1, you have:
A 90-day planner showing how each week was structured
Binders or digital folders with:
Reading notes
Workbook pages and written responses
Quizzes, checks, and a few “best work” artifacts
A clear sense of:
Current working level
Areas of strength and friction
The student’s preferred learning tempo
For families and programs that need it, Phase 1 can also be translated into:
A simple 90-day progress memo (attendance patterns, key gains, next steps)
A snapshot that a registrar, program director, or advisor can read in a few minutes
How Phase 1 Connects to Phases 2 and 3
Phase 1 is the foundation:
Phase 2 – Build & Extend
Adds longer writing, projects, and lab-style work
Tightens executive function: planning, deadlines, and follow-through
Phase 3 – University & Career Launch
Formalizes courses, credits, grading, and portfolios
Prepares transcripts and application-ready artifacts
If all you need is a solid 90-day reset, Phase 1 stands on its own.
If you want a full multi-year arc, Phase 1 is your clean starting point.
