IXL is an adaptive online learning platform that covers math, language arts, science, social studies, and Spanish from PreK through 12th grade. The platform contains over 9,000 interactive skills and uses algorithms to adapt in real time to each student's level.

As students answer questions, IXL adjusts the difficulty and identifies specific gaps in understanding. A built-in diagnostic tool provides a thorough snapshot of each student's knowledge across grade levels, showing exactly where they are strong and where they need work.

What to Know

Parents can track detailed analytics showing time spent, skills mastered, and trouble spots. The platform generates recommendations for what to practice next based on the student's performance data.

IXL costs approximately $10-20/month depending on whether you subscribe to a single subject or all subjects. Annual plans offer savings. The platform works on any device with a web browser.

Most homeschool families use IXL as a supplement alongside a primary curriculum rather than as a standalone program. It is particularly strong for math practice and for filling specific skill gaps. The content is secular and aligned with state standards.
