Class Structure
Each classroom will be comprised of the ratio of 1 Teacher and 1 Teacher's assistant for each 5 students. Classrooms will be divided into grade clusters of:
• K-2 • 3-5 • 6-8 • 9-10 • 11-12 (year 3)
Academics
The academic model is based on the evidence-based digital programs that were designed and written by Doctors of Education. Each core course has a Scope & Sequence that adheres to the national standards. The Federal Department of Education has requested that these standards be implemented in all of the US schools.
The digital model, that was designed for our school, is a direct correlation to the written books, except that it has a much higher level of on-line resources and video content, and it is ideal for our high functioning students.
Our online curriculum is individualized and provides 24-hour access. Your child and family's schedule can be accomodated. You will have a direct connection to our virtual teacher via e-mail and Skype. Your child's academic course goals can be adjusted throughout the year to match their indivdual levels.
