Students in grades K-3 will have a couple required synchronous session check points throughout their Math and Language Arts courses. This one-on-one time is crucial for our teachers to assess how your child is progressing on the building blocks of core concepts such as phonics and counting. These do occur one on one with teachers, but teachers will help find times that meet family needs. But, students in all other grade levels/courses can login at the times that best fit their needs and work through the pre-recorded lessons and assignments. There is a pacing guide in each course that is a great tool for students to utilize to stay on track, but it is not mandatory to follow.
