Curriculum Options:

Odysseyware (3rd-12th)
This curriculum is an almost completely Internet based challenging curriculum beginning at the third grade level. Daily lessons are presented with online textbook reading, video clips, audio clips, animated examples and games, pictures, and links to access even more. Students complete their daily assignments by answering questions about the lessons, writing reports and stories, completing projects or experiments, and taking assessments to measure what they have learned through each unit of study.

Students can access the program anytime and anywhere they have access to the Internet. This provides a great deal of flexibility in learning schedules. For example, students who might need additional time to complete a particular assignment can take the time they need to do well before they begin in the next subject for the day. Students won't be rushed, or slowed down, due to other students or a bell ringing to move to the next class. Students complete their daily assignments online and are given feedback and guidance from their HVA teachers as needed.
Students are also encouraged to work on their assignments and be available during the hours the teachers are working. Student should be logged in on Skype during the hours their teachers are working to be able to communicate with them as needed throughout the school day while working on their assignments. Students should be ready to begin the school day by 8:30 am each scheduled school day. Note that students need to continue to work on their lessons during the periods their teachers are available.

The communication between the school staff and the family is important.
Current research suggests that parental involvement is one of the key components to a student’s academic achievement. We have found this to be especially true for virtual students. It is important for the parents to be involved and be aware of what their child is completing each day in OW so the student stays on schedule and continues to make progress. The most successful students are the ones that are held accountable at home each day with parents regularly checking the student's OW due date progress. It is also vital for parents to keep in regular communication with the HVA staff by regularly checking email messages, and also utilizing Skype when needed.

K-12 Curriculum (Ktg-2nd)
This curriculum offers a challenging program for students beginning with kindergarten. It involves lessons with both on- and off-line components. With this curriculum, the teaching role belongs to the parent who uses the provided materials to guide the student through the daily lessons, assignments, and assessments. Parents, who are referred to as learning coaches, record their child's progress online through the PEAK platform for the HVA facilitator to monitor. K-12 materials are shipped to the student's home directly from the company, and online access is made available through both a parent and student account. The K-12 curriculum is offered to our students in kindergarten through second grade. Note that the parent responsible for schooling the K-2 student will be required to spend several hours each school day preparing. presenting, and monitoring the school lessons and assessments for their student.


Family Involvement:


We believe that a collaborative relationship between the family and school is important for student success. Family participation, as a fundamental support system, along with regular communication between school and family are essential. Parents are encouraged to stay involved in their student's daily progress to help keep him or her keep accountable at home. Parents can do this by regularly checking student progress in OW and viewing daily progress to make sure their student is keeping current on due dates.



Application Process:

Our application process offers us an opportunity to enroll students who fit the profile of our program. Students need to be self-motivated, self-disciplined, willing to learn, and willing to regularly attend school online as required These students must have parental support. to help keep them accountable at home with their schooling and progress.

For additional information or questions about the our online school, please contact the virtual program coordinator, Mrs. Penny Wilt.
