Placement Assessment
Finding the right starting place for each subject
Purpose of This Assessment
Each subject in the Rosebridge Academy curriculum has a series of mastery levels. This assessment helps you identify where your student's skills are genuinely solid — not where they have been exposed to material, but where they can work independently and confidently in a new context.
Work through one subject at a time. Your results appear in the panel on the left and persist as you assess additional subjects.
How to Answer
Think of your student working on an ordinary day, without prompting or support. Answer based on what you have actually observed — not what you expect or hope.
Done independently, without reminders, in unfamiliar situations
Can do this, but needs prompting, support, or the right conditions
New territory — not mastered or not yet introduced
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
- You may assess subjects in any order and at any pace.
- Exposure is not mastery. A student who has heard about something is not the same as one who can use it independently in a new context.
- Placing a student at a lower level is a gift, not a setback. It builds confidence and closes real gaps.
- History and Bible/Theology levels are cumulative. If a period has not been studied, begin at the start of that period regardless of age.

Using These Results
Begin each subject at the recommended level. If the first sessions feel very easy, move one level ahead — these results are a starting point for your own ongoing observation, not a final verdict. If the level proves harder than expected in practice, step back without hesitation.
For History and Bible/Theology, work chronologically from the recommended level forward. For skills-based subjects — Mathematics, Writing, Reading — the starting level represents the foundation your student is ready to build on. Mastery at each level before advancing is the goal.
