Program Overview
What is a charter school?
A charter school is a publicly funded independent school established by teachers, parents, or community groups under the terms of a charter with a local or national authority.
Do colleges and universities accept eSucceed graduates?
Yes.
Do eSucceed credits transfer back to traditional high schools?
Yes.
Do students receive report cards?
Students receive frequent reports on their progress. As progress is assessed through mastery of learning targets, students will receive credits based upon successful mastery of content in each course.
How do you work with children who are gifted?
Because our curriculum is personalized, each student learns at a level that’s appropriately challenging. For example, a 9th-grade student could complete 12th-grade-level projects. We assess all students when they begin classes so we may create individualized learning plans.
Parent Support
How does eSucceed work with families? What kind of support do you offer?
Parents and guardians are part of the equation at eSucceed. We all need to work together to help students succeed. We include parents and guardians in students’ orientations and help them familiarize themselves with our platform and our expectations. We provide regular updates and a guide parents and guardians may follow to ensure their children are mastering their courses. We also offer virtual conferences.
How will I know how my child is doing?
Parents have access to their own parent portal, where they can see how their child is progressing.
Curriculum
What is considered a full course load?
The amount of time devoted to schoolwork depends on the grade level of the student, difficulty of coursework, and other factors. As a general rule, full-time students should expect the following time commitment for school days:
High School: 5-6 hours per day
Middle School: 4-5 hours per day
Elementary School: 2-3 hours per day
How are students graded?
Students are graded based on their mastery of the subject material.
What is project-based-learning?
Project-based-learning (PBL) is a methodology that encourages students to identify real world problems and develop solutions for them. We believe this approach allows students opportunities for in-context experiential learning and for developing critical skills that prepare them for life beyond high school.
