How we make money

A site that grades curricula only works if you can trust it. So here’s the whole truth about how we keep the lights on.

No curriculum pays for placement. Not for a ranking, not for a spot on a list, not for a kinder review. Ever.

Affiliate links

When we link to a curriculum you can buy, that link is sometimes an affiliate link — if you purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We label these links, and — this is the important part — they never affect a curriculum’s score or ranking position. Our scoring engine has no access to affiliate data at all.

What we’ll never do

  • Take payment to rank a curriculum higher.
  • Let a commercial relationship influence a score.
  • Hide a sponsored relationship or a trade-off.
  • Run cluttered, attention-grabbing ads that cheapen the guide.
