How we build a course for your program
We don't sell a fixed box of courses. We start from your requirements and build the course around them.
1. Fitted to your state standards
You tell us the standards you teach to, the certifications your students will sit for, and how your program runs: grade levels, schedule, one-year or multi-year pathway.
We break those requirements down into individual learning objectives and match each one to a lesson. You get a coverage report that shows exactly which standards are covered and by what.
2. Adapted to your labs and facilities
A welding lab, a commercial kitchen and a classroom with a 3D printer call for different hands-on work. We ask what's in your lab and write the labs and projects around it, including the safety steps for your equipment.
If you don't have a piece of equipment a standard calls for, we tell you, and we offer a simulation or alternative activity where one exists.
3. Personalized by your teachers
Teachers review the course before it ships and set the sequence, pacing and emphasis that fit their classroom.
Once students start, teachers see mastery for every student and every standard, get an alert when a student keeps missing the same concept, and can change any score. The teacher's decision is final.
4. Adapted to every student with AI
Each student starts with an adaptive diagnostic, so they skip what they already know. Socrat Tutor Agent, our AI tutor, works alongside every lesson: it adjusts to the student's reading level, speaks their language, and asks questions until the student can explain the concept on their own.
Students retry only what they missed. Once a concept is mastered, it stays mastered.
Where your course content comes from
Every objective in your course comes from one of three places. Wherever it comes from, the same AI tutor checks that students actually learned it.
Courses from our partner publishers
Delivered as published, with Socrat Tutor Agent added on top. The tutor talks with students about what they studied and confirms they understood it.
Core-LX lessons, rewritten for you
Our own lessons can be rewritten to match your standards, your students' reading levels, your program and the equipment in your labs.
New lessons where there's a gap
If nothing we have covers a standard, we build a new lesson for it. A gap becomes a lesson, not a hole in your program.
All content is reviewed by AI for technical accuracy, then checked by a human subject-matter expert before it reaches a student.
What coverage looks like
We measure coverage against your requirements, not against our catalog. Every program gets a report like this one before anything is built.

We learn your standards, certifications, program design and facilities.
Design
You get a coverage report and a course design. We build anything that's missing.
Teacher training
Your teachers learn the course, the dashboard and how the AI tutor works, and make the course their own.

Common questions about custom courses
Can Core-LX build a CTE course for our state's standards?
Yes. We start from the standards you teach to and the certifications your students sit for, match every learning objective to a lesson, and give you a coverage report showing which standards are covered and by what.
Can courses be adapted to the equipment in our labs?
Yes. Core-LX lessons and labs are written around the tools, machines and space you have. If you don't have equipment a standard calls for, we tell you and offer a simulation or alternative activity where one exists.
Do courses from partner publishers change?
No. Partner courses are delivered as published, with Socrat Tutor Agent, our AI tutor, added on top to check that students understood what they studied. Core-LX's own lessons are the ones we rewrite to fit your program.
