Unlocking the Doors to Success in Math
“The greatest benefit of Passport Learning is giving a child the confidence that they can do the work. After Passport Learning my child did extremely well in the regular classroom, because he had the confidence that he could do it.”
– Homeschool Parent
“We noticed differences right away. During the school year, I happened to pull out his grade card from the year before and noticed that his grades had improved by one to two or sometimes three letter grades.”

Guided Math Instruction for the Homeschool Curriculum
As you undoubtedly know, a solid foundation is critical to every child’s learning success. Now from Passport Learning®, the same people who brought you the national award-winning Academy of Reading® program, comes a revolutionary tool to help improve your child’s level of achievement in mathematics—Academy of Math®.
The guided Academy of Math instruction builds a child’s skills from the simple to the complex. Each level begins with a review of key math concepts presented in tutorial format and reinforced through a variety of examples. Children progress through a series of multiple-choice questions, applying their knowledge of the terms and concepts imparted through the tutorials. In the operations section of the program, homeschool students draw on the previous levels for mastery of terms and concepts in order to answer questions on their own.
Finally, all of these experiences are brought together when the child begins to evaluate and solve word problems and engage in higher-order problem solving. This is the final step to mastery of each level—measured in terms of true knowledge and accuracy. Students who just need reinforcement of math instruction, and those who need guided enrichment for advanced math instruction will all benefit from this program.
Improving Math Comprehension:
One Program, Four Principles, Exponential Results
The Academy of Math is a lively interactive software program based on four fundamental learning principles designed to best facilitate improving math comprehension for any student in a homeschool curriculum:
- Individualized Learning: Students work at their own pace, according to their own abilities—receiving constant feedback to motivate and encourage their progress.
- Skills Progression: Proceeding skill by skill, students advance to the next stage of learning only when they have achieved mathematical proficiency at the preceding level.
- Comprehensive Curriculum: From absolute beginner to basic high-school math, the program allows students to backtrack as far as they need to in order to fill in “skills gaps” and to accelerate ahead as their proficiency improves.
Constant Motivation
The Academy of Math program is designed to set your child up for success. Interactive and engaging, it makes the learning process captivating, maintaining a child’s focus and encouraging meaningful time on task. The Academy of Math provides constant encouragement through the animated ComputerTutor as well as awards and certificates given to students each time they master a skill.
Developed with over twenty years of research, the Academy of Math guided program is not just a revolutionary form of math instruction; it has the results to back it up. In fact, struggling mathematics students across a variety of grade levels have shown an average gain of 2.1 grade levels after less than ten hours of direct training using the Academy of Math software. The perfect complement to any homeschool math curriculum, the Academy of Math is the tool for improving math comprehension for every student.
