This is up to you! Each course is divided into 18 lessons. If one lesson is completed each week, the course will take 18 weeks (or 2 school quarters). However, many families report moving through the lessons at a quicker pace.
do WE HAVE TO COMPLETE EVERY ASSIGNMENT?
Our curriculum is designed to offer a variety of assignments. These may include written class notes, writing assignments, map project, research projects, quizzes and exams. Parents may decide that not all of these assignments serve their student and may choose to skip, alter or adjust the assignments.
how are the online courses graded?
All of our curriculum is designed to be parent/teacher led and graded.
