The Wild & BOLD Foundation Program is for 5-6 year olds, is the first formal year of schooling and is a year of wonder, discovery, and foundational learning. Foundation is known as Kindergarten in USA, Canada and Australia (NSW & ACT), Prep in Australia (VIC, QLD & TAS), Reception in The United Kingdom and Australia (SA), Year 1 in New Zealand and Pre-Primary in Australia (WA).
Our Foundation program contains 40 weeks and has been designed to take around 1-1.5 hours a day, four days per week. The program is mapped to the curriculum outcomes & standards from all states & provinces of Australia, United States of America, United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand.

Individual Terms.
Wild & BOLD is designed as sequential learning, so the terms are best completed in order. We call them 'terms' for purchasing, but they work more like learning blocks than traditional school terms, which means (for example) your child does not need to start with Term 3 just because it is Term 3 on the calendar. Some subjects, such as History and Geography, may sit in separate terms so children can go deeper without carrying too much at once.
If a subject is not in the term you purchase, it will appear as the program continues. If your child settles in beautifully, keep going. If you notice little gaps or feel they would benefit from stronger foundations, you can simply go back and begin with Term 1. The goal is not to race through content, but to help your child thrive, build skills step by step, and grow in confidence as learning begins to feel natural.
Each term of the Foundation Program includes 16 weeks of access* to the Parent Portal, where you’ll find all your weekly program outlines, the Parent Training Library, Wild & BOLD Mini Projects, the Parent Community and all additional resources.
*Term 1 gets 26 weeks access to allow time to get settled into the program and complete any registration requirements.
