You're following a set curriculum while the teaching is almost entirely being done by the parents and child. You're a great deal more similar to a homeschooler than normal schools. If you finish all your work for third grade in a regular school you do not go to fourth grade.

Yes you’re right. What I’d meant was that we’ve not had to spend time in figuring out what the curriculum is and how to cobble together the course material - the basic structure is provided so it was easy for us to transition to it.
