Sourced
Sourced, never invented.
Requirements come from the school of record and published standards, retrieved and cited. CourseBend writes the lessons, never the requirements.
An augmentive learning overlay for high school · Grades 9–12
Your passion is the curriculum.
CourseBend takes the courses a student is already required to take and bends them through the thing they love most. Same standards. Same school. A different road in.
Three required courses, bent through .
A quick sketch written live by AI. The standards are quoted from the published BC Grade 10 curriculum. The real product goes much deeper than this.
The idea
School hands every student the same road. We don’t move the destination. We bend the road.
Overlay
An overlay, not a school.
Students stay where they’re enrolled. The school keeps the teacher, the grades and the diploma.
Memory
It remembers, for one student only.
Every observation about a student stays in one record that belongs to that student’s story. Nothing generalizes to anyone else.
The Student Model
It remembers. Every moment adds a thread.
A student is never just one thing, and neither is what they’re learning. Passions at the core, every required outcome threaded back to them, and connections crossing from one course to the next. Drag to turn it, scrub through the term, or pick a passion.
