How Does Our Online High School Work?

Students spend 30 hours per week learning and growing. 

  • 90% of each school day is spent exploring lessons online 

  • 10% of each school day is spent working independently offline or with a Learning Coach 

High school students complete a mix of independent work in our dedicated online learning portal and regularly scheduled LiveLesson sessions with peers and their high school teachers. 

They also spend valuable quality time with their Learning Coach, typically filled by a parent or caregiver who supports their learning throughout the school day.
