How does a student’s learning experience change in different grade levels?
For grades K–5, the curriculum is mastery based, allowing students to discover the ways they learn best, and it includes hands-on learning opportunities away from the computer. The Learning Coach helps the student stay on track with their learning schedule and communicates with teachers via email and phone as needed.
As students transition to grades 6–8, they become more independent and learn to monitor their own schedule while still working with their Learning Coach for support. Curriculum for grades 6–8 includes online and various levels of hands-on learning.
In grades 9–12, students communicate with their teachers, manage their schedules with minimal Learning Coach support, and begin considering their postgraduation goals with counselors. The online high school curriculum includes various levels of core courses and a broad selection of electives.
