Curious How Online Learning Works?
With online learning, your child can learn at home, or wherever there's an internet connection, while enjoying the benefits and support of a school program.

What's my role as a parent?
As a Learning Coach, you’ll have the opportunity to take an active and vital role in your child’s education. Plan to spend time each day to:
- Provide academic support, motivation, and guidance
- Ensure your child is on track with assignments and coursework
- Communicate with teachers
- Report daily attendance
If a child's parent or legal guardian is unable to fill this role, they may choose a family member, friend, or other trusted adult to serve as Learning Coach.
