Mission Statement:

We provide high quality, engaging, and interactive online K-12 classes taught by experienced and passionate professionals. Your child can take our live online courses to get homeschooling credit, build his or her high school transcript, and earn a letter of recommendation for college applications. By following our guidelines, your child will get credit for his or her courses, guaranteed.

Hands-On Learning and Communication:

          Each hour of live, interactive Zoom classes is supplemented with about an hour of hands-on learning activities. We believe that education and homeschooling require developing our children’s communication skills, not just logging into Zoom! There are printouts, worksheets, projects, and optional exams. And we have lab simulations that prepare middle and high schoolers for college lab sciences.

Mastery-Based Grading:

          Our simple, mastery-based grading system makes homeschooling easy for parents! Your child will complete a series of hands-on activities, and parents get feedback on a week by week basis. You’ll just keep logging A’s on your transcript as your child progresses through a series of fun, dynamic courses with a group of his or her peers.
