Lessons

Each week in a Schoolhouse course is a complete lesson with multiple sections. You complete the sections in order to finish the week and unlock the next one.

Lesson Structure​

Every weekly lesson contains some or all of the following sections:

1. 📖 Introduction​

A short overview of what the lesson is about. Sets the stage for what you'll learn this week. No interaction needed — just read and soak it in.

2. 🧠 Learning​

The main content of the lesson. Concepts are explained clearly with examples. Broken into digestible chunks so it's never overwhelming.

3. 🤝 Guided Practice​

Worked examples and step-by-step problems you follow along with. This section walks you through applying the concepts before you try them on your own.

4. ✏️ Independent Practice​

Problems and exercises you complete on your own. Your answers are checked, and you get feedback. You can retry questions if you get them wrong.

5. ⭐ Challenge​

Optional bonus problems for when you want to push yourself a little further. These are harder than the main lesson and reward extra XP.

6. 📝 Review​

A summary of what was covered in the lesson. Great to re-read if something felt confusing or to refresh your memory later.

7. 🧪 Test / Quiz​

A short quiz at the end of the lesson to check your understanding. You need to pass the quiz to mark the week as complete.

8. 🎉 Results​

Your quiz results and XP earned are shown here. A confetti celebration plays when you complete the lesson!

Completing a Lesson​

Work through each section from top to bottom. A progress indicator at the top of the page shows how far through the lesson you are.

When you finish the final section and pass the quiz:

  • The week is marked ✅ complete
  • You earn XP
  • Your streak is extended
  • The next week unlocks

Revisiting a Lesson​

You can go back to any completed week at any time to review the content — click it from the course's week grid. Revisiting a completed lesson doesn't change your progress or reset your XP.

The Week Grid​

From a course page, you see a grid of all 52 weeks. Each week shows:

  • 🔒 Locked (you haven't reached it yet)
  • ⬜ Available (unlocked, not started)
