Curriculum Two

Scholarium

A complete liberal education — five tiers sequenced from pure foundations to applied mastery. Not a collection of videos or isolated topics. A real curriculum, ordered by dependency: you cannot build a house from the roof down. Courses marked Live are open to read now. Courses marked Building are in progress. Everything is free, always.

I Pure Foundations Live ›

The skills every other tier depends on. Language, number, logic, and the shape of the world.

English Reading & Writing From the alphabet through composition — phonics, comprehension, grammar, and clear writing. 10 chapters · Live
Mathematics Arithmetic, fractions, algebra — number sense before formulas. In development
Logic & Critical Thinking Arguments, fallacies, inference — how to think clearly about any subject. In development
History Not a list of dates — the forces that shaped the world you live in. Planned
Geography How the physical world is arranged and why it matters. Planned
II Natural Sciences Building ›

How the physical world works — from particles to planets, from cells to ecosystems.

Physics Forces, motion, energy, and the laws that govern everything. In development
Chemistry Matter, reactions, and the periodic table — what everything is made of. In development
Biology Cells, systems, evolution — the science of living things. Planned
Earth Science Geology, climate, and the systems that shape the planet's surface. Planned
Astronomy The solar system, stars, and the scale of the universe. Planned
III Technology Live ›

How computers and networks work — from foundations to building and deploying real things.

Web Development A complete A-Z curriculum — networking, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, databases, security, and deployment. Every concept illustrated with Brainfolds as a live example. 20 phases · Live
Computing Foundations How computers work at the hardware level — binary, memory, CPU, operating systems. Planned
Data & Databases How data is stored, queried, and used — SQL, relational thinking, and data modelling. Planned
Networks & Security How the internet really works and how to keep systems safe on it. Planned
IV Applied Engineering Planned ›

Applying science and mathematics to build things that work in the physical world.

Electrical Principles Circuits, current, voltage, and the fundamentals of electrical systems. Planned
Mechanical Principles Forces, structures, mechanisms — how physical systems are designed and built. Planned
Civil Engineering Basics Structures, materials, and infrastructure — how the built environment holds together. Planned
Systems Thinking Feedback loops, emergent behaviour, and how complex systems fail and recover. Planned
V Language & Society Live ›

Languages, ideas, institutions, and how human societies organise themselves.

How to Learn a Language Not a language course — a course about how language acquisition works, so every language you study after this is faster. 10 chapters · Live
Spanish From first words to functional reading and conversation — built on the language learning foundations. In development
Philosophy The central questions — knowledge, ethics, existence — and how thinkers have approached them. Planned
Economics How markets, incentives, and institutions shape decisions at every scale. Planned
Scholarium is open for contributions. If you have expertise in any of the planned or in-development subjects and want to write a chapter, the contributor page is open. Every chapter goes through a review before publishing. The writing guide is available there — the First Principles method applies to Scholarium exactly as it does to Self Sufficiency.
