They cover 12 topics: math, science, art, history, literature, language skills (four elements: test readiness (practice tests), G.U.M. (grammar usage and mechanics), vocabulary, and composition), spelling, exploring music, and strategies for success (tips for taking tests). OHVA uses products from K12 INC.
