Elementary School Academics
Math
Our goal is to encourage logical reasoning, analytical thinking, and independent learning. This course will not only help students understand basic mathematical concepts but also develop creative skills for solving complex real-life problems. We want your children to embrace math, appreciate its logic, and become enthusiastic about its importance.
Our program motivates students to excel in their regular math classes by building their confidence and understanding of math concepts. And, our systematic approach to the learning process increases the scope and depth of topics studied in regular school math programs, and our innovative curricula and method of teaching are tailored to meet the individual needs of children. Our virtual, online classes focus on filling the learning gap that might have occurred in recent months, challenge children and keep them actively engaged in the learning process, and provide the means for parents to extend their children’s horizons.
English Course – ESOL
This course concentrates on a general review of grammar with emphasis upon usage. Strong attention will be given to the development of composition and critical reading skills. Vocabulary development and outside reading will complement this course of study. The study of literature will be supported by composition. Literary emphasis includes the short story, drama, and poetry.
Literacy
The program is based on the writing process with all grammar, usage, mechanics, and spelling skills introduced, practiced, and reviewed in the context of writing. Writing skills are taught through mini-lessons and online conferences. Reinforcement is provided through pre-writing, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing activities. We will include daily formal and informal speaking opportunities to develop oral language and listening skills. Handwriting skills are practiced with an emphasis on legibility and consistency of letter formation and spacing. Students will complete the transition from handwritten printing to cursive writing.
Middle School Academics
Literacy
This course is designed to strengthen and improve vocabulary, spelling, grammar, writing, reading, and oral communication skills. Students will continue to enhance their independent reading skills by developing more advanced vocabulary, additional comprehension skills, and literary skills. In addition, they will concentrate on the areas of composing, written expression, and usage/mechanics in developing narrative, expository and persuasive writings. Students will study media message techniques and apply research techniques to gather, organize, and communicate information.
Pre Algebra
This class will review the basic operations of arithmetic on whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. These operations will be used in dealing with ratio, proportions, percent, simple geometry, and algebra. As students master these basic concepts, they will move into basic algebra. Students will be able to understand basic operations with integers, rational numbers, irrational, and real numbers; the use of variables; properties of numbers and of equality; solving equations and inequalities; problem-solving; relations and functions; and polynomials.
Algebra 1
Algebra 1 is a critical element in secondary mathematics education. Topics introduced in Algebra 1 provide the foundation students require for future success in high school mathematics, critical thinking, and problem-solving. The primary goal in Algebra 1 is to help students transfer their concrete mathematical knowledge to more abstract algebraic generalizations.

Preparation for AP Calc
The course is intended for students who plan on pursuing a college degree requiring advanced mathematics. Pre-AP Calculus fully develops the use of trigonometric, exponential and algebraic functions, as well as graphing of both rectangular and polar coordinates. Every student should have a scientific calculator, but students will also be expected to complete calculations mentally and with pencil-and-paper.
Geometry
This course is designed to emphasize the study of the properties and applications of common geometric figures in two and three dimensions. It includes the study of transformations and right triangle trigonometry. Inductive and deductive thinking skills are used in problem-solving situations, and applications to the real world are stressed. It also emphasizes writing proofs to solve (prove) properties of geometric figures.
