Can students work at their own pace?
The K-8 program offers a great degree of flexibility. A suggested lesson plan is provided to the parent or “learning coach” each week, which updates automatically as students progress through the curriculum. The parent/learning coach can vary the lesson plan, to accommodate the student’s pace or abilities: for instance, some kids do better when they can concentrate their Math studies for longer hours per day but fewer days per week. The experienced K12 International Academy teacher works in conjunction with the parent/learning coach to facilitate student progress through the daily lessons and to modify the pace and schedule according to individual student needs. In the high school program, students are expected to be more accountable for their daily progress and time management. The student is expected to move at a more consistent pace with her or his “class,” in each subject, though there is room for flexibility. There are weekly and sometimes daily assignments and due dates. Students
