Getting Started. If this is a good option for your student, it is simple to get started. You should speak with the current math teacher about what you intend to do to make sure that is a good fit.

How it Works. When a student is ready to begin a course, submit a registration form and tuition. An email will be sent to the student and the parent with login and password information. The email includes a video and “web-inars” explaining this process and is easy to follow.

Every class is divided into units and a final exam. Units are broken down into reading, activities, quizzes, and tests. A 70% proficiency level is required to advance through the lessons.

These courses are well-planned and executed, making them self-explanatory and requiring little supervision or outside support. When a student has a question, there are online tools that we recommend including: KhanAcademy.org, Youtube.com, and various other resources. Note: It is important to understand that if the student is not ready for this level of self-motivated learning, they may not be ready to be in the honors course. If at any point in the course the student is not able to continue with the course, please contact us to discuss options.

7th and 8th graders. When the coursework is complete, a Report Card will be sent to the school and a parent verifying the successful completion.

High school students including 9th graders. When the coursework is complete, an official transcript will be electronically sent to your school, giving credit and a grade. The same email is also sent to both the student and parent for your records. A paper copy of Official transcripts are available upon request.
