Parent Supported Daily Work

In Middle School, the students have two hours of virtual lessons four days a week, so the parents' role changes to a homework support system, rather than teaching the lessons.

Independent Online Work

  • Reading Assignment in Everything You Need to Know World History
  • Writing/Language Arts Assignment
  • 45 minutes of ALEKS math & Khan Academy
  • Science Homework

Student-Directed Elective Time

Our Daily schedule builds in several hours every day for student-directed learning. This time is an opportunity to explore new interests, gain skills, or attend community classes.
