As a parent, what are my responsibilities?
As a fully comprehensive program, our administrators and teachers contact students on a continual basis to ensure their ongoing success.
Teachers hold classes once and week and are available daily on-demand at the click of a button in subject specific help rooms Monday through Friday 8am – 5pm CST.
Students complete assignments at their own pace and they are graded by the teacher. All completed courses appear on an easily accessible unofficial transcript on the students dashboard. Official transcripts will be created upon request.
