Academic Program
Our Academic Program helps fill 5th-8th grade students’ learning gaps in math and English Language Arts (ELA).
The program consists of the online learning program Freckle, writing lessons, math and English worksheets, and the myON ebook library. Prior to beginning practice in either subject students complete an assessment, which allows us to tailor the material presented to them.
If you were recently matched with a student in grades 5-8, your student has automatically been enrolled in the Academic Program and you will receive information about administering an assessment shortly.
You and your student will begin by completing an assessment in math or reading. Once they have completed the assessment, you will get more information about your student’s personalized curriculum, including your student’s Freckle log-in information.
