How Much Time Does Online School Take?
Just like in a traditional Alabama brick and mortar public school, our students are required to spend a minimum of 25 hours per week on their schoolwork. Some students may need more school time based on their age or individual learning needs.
Students spend their time on two types of lessons:
- Self-guided coursework throughout the week in Pearson Online Classroom
- LiveLesson sessions that allow them to interact with their teachers and peers in real time
Alabama Connections Academy LiveLesson Sessions*
How many sessions each week per subject?
ELEMENTARY
Grades K-5

Small group sessions are offered once per week for most students (20-30 minutes per session)
