The first learning operating system built on the conviction that the family, not the institution, is the rightful educational authority. A full year of curriculum, drafted for your philosophy. Every AI recommendation routed through you before it touches your child.
The mechanics, plain. You set the rules. METHEAN proposes. You approve. The system records. Mastery builds.
Choose your educational philosophy. Define content boundaries. Set how much the AI may suggest. METHEAN converts your decisions into constitutional rules that govern every recommendation forever after.
The AI drafts weekly plans, lessons, and activities tailored to each child. Nothing reaches your children until you approve it. Adjust any item in one click. Reject anything in one click.
Every completed activity feeds mastery tracking, retention scheduling, and the records your state requires. Years from now you will still have a complete audit trail of every decision made.
Three commitments encoded into the architecture itself. Not features, not settings. Load-bearing structure that cannot be overridden.
Every AI recommendation routes through household authority before reaching the child. The system cannot write to learner state on its own. Your authority is the foundation, not a setting.
The AI cannot write to learner state. No path exists around the gate.
Every rule, every recommendation, every override is logged immutably. Years from now, you will still be able to answer the question, why did my child learn this and not that.
We never sell data. We never use child data for advertising. Your family's information is yours alone, exportable at any moment, deletable on demand. Infrastructure, not surveillance.
To the family considering this work,
We have been homeschooling our six children for over six years. We have walked the road you are walking. We have stayed up late planning the week. We have grieved over the curriculum that worked for one child and failed another. We have rebuilt our entire approach more than once.
What we kept noticing was this: every tool we tried treated us as users of a system. METHEAN is the first one that treats the parent as the system. The AI works inside our authority, not beside it. The curriculum honors our philosophy, not theirs. The records belong to us, not to a server in California we will never see.
Every architectural decision in METHEAN started with one question we asked ourselves: would we use this with our own children? If the answer was no, the feature was rebuilt or removed. The platform exists because the tools we wanted did not.
If you are still here at the end of this letter, you are probably the family we built this for. We hope you join us.
With sincere conviction,
Zack & Angela Fava
Thirty-six weeks of complete, philosophy-aware curriculum, generated for each subject and each child, then routed through your approval before it ever reaches their day. The library holds 2,515 hand-authored lessons across six core subjects, spanning kindergarten through college-level depth, written to a masterclass standard rather than thin, auto-generated filler.
Thirty-six weeks per subject. Daily activities Monday through Friday. Lesson, practice, review, and assessment cycles built in. Every sixth week, a review week. Generated to your family's philosophy and your child's current mastery, routed to you for approval.
Sonlight, Saxon, Story of the World, My Father's World, Abeka, BJU, any of it. METHEAN ingests the table of contents and maps it into the mastery graph. You keep the curriculum you love. You add the tracking, governance, and compliance you never had.
Pre-built scope and sequence for math, reading and literature, writing, science, history, and business, with classical, Charlotte Mason, Montessori, traditional, and unschooling/trade alignment baked into every topic. Generate long division for a classical family, get classical long division. Not generic content with a label.
Most homeschool curricula stop at ‘run a lemonade stand.’ METHEAN runs from revenue and profit in middle school to three-statement financial models, DCF valuation, cap tables, and defending a fundable venture before a panel, the same material taught in top undergraduate business programs. 342 lessons. Three mastery tiers. Because the ability to create value will outlast any job title.
Revenue, cost, and profit computed from real receipts on a real venture. Pricing, customers, marketing on a budget, and a one-page business plan the child actually presents. 120 lessons.
Financial statements, unit economics, contribution margin, customer acquisition cost, lifetime value, break-even, cash-flow forecasting, and go-to-market strategy, applied to one venture carried across the year. 110 lessons.
Three-statement financial modeling with scenarios. Discounted cash flow and comparable-company valuation. Cap tables with dilution and liquidation preference. Cost of capital and capital structure. Competitive strategy and growth loops. It ends with a complete, fundable venture the student designs, models, and defends under investor-grade questioning. 112 lessons.
Every number in every lesson is worked out and verified. A student who finishes this tier can build a financial model, value a company, read a term sheet, and defend a business plan to someone who does it for a living.
One subscription. Many traditions. The system adapts to your conviction, not the other way around.
Trivium-anchored progression. Grammar, Logic, Rhetoric stages honored. Latin, Logic, and the Great Books folded into the weekly plan as first-class subjects.
Living books, short lessons, narration, nature study. The system respects pace, depth, and atmosphere, refusing to industrialize what is meant to be lived.
Self-directed work cycles. Materials-first sequencing. Three-year age windows. The platform tracks readiness, not grade.
Structured, textbook-driven, grade-anchored. Daily scope honored. METHEAN keeps the rigor and removes the planning burden.
Child-led inquiry alongside apprenticeship work. HVAC, electrical, woodworking, and agriculture available today, with welding, plumbing, automotive, and culinary arriving in 2027. Certification milestones tracked alongside whatever the child is pursuing.
Mix-and-match by conviction. Pull classical from one subject, Charlotte Mason from another, unschooling where it fits. The system blends the traditions you choose rather than forcing your whole household into one.
You set the boundaries the AI cannot cross. The system enforces them on every recommendation, every call, every output. Every decision is logged. Every override is recorded. Your authority is not a UI preference. It is encoded into the foundation of the platform, where it can never be removed without rewriting the system itself.
Classical, Charlotte Mason, Montessori, traditional, unschooling/trade, and eclectic. Every lesson respects your approach.
Thirty-six weeks of scope and sequence drafted for any subject, any child, any philosophy. Daily activities Mon to Fri. Review weeks built in. Your approval required before it ships.
Hour tracking, mastery records, and required documents, generated automatically.
Unlimited children. Each tracked separately, all visible on one screen.
Every child gets their own spaced-repetition engine, FSRS, the algorithm behind serious memory software, tuned with 21 parameters per learner. The system knows what your child has mastered and brings a concept back the day before they would have forgotten it. Advancement is gated on demonstrated mastery, not on a calendar.
Available now: HVAC, Electrical, Woodworking, Agriculture & Gardening. Certification milestones tracked alongside academic mastery.
Coming 2027 — Welding, Plumbing, Automotive, Culinary, Carpentry
