The Purple School curriculum covers 31 categories of child-centered learning, each with 150 items to learn. After a Purple School student has learned the first 25 items in each category, he or she can ask to test for a Purple School red wristand (a student will earn an orange wristband for being able to say 26-50 in the target language, yellow for 51-75, green for 76-100, blue for 101-125, and purple for 126-150!). For more information about earning The Purple School wristbands, click here.
