Students will receive frequent reports on their progress. Progress is assessed through mastery of learning targets and students will receive credits based upon successful mastery of content per 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 them. We could have a 9th grader working on senior level projects. All students are assessed when they begin classes, so that we can create an individualized learning plan.
Parent Support
How does eSucceed work with families? What kind of support do you offer?
Parents are part of the equation at eSucceed. We all need to work together to help students be successful. We include parents in the student’s orientation and help them get familiar with our platform and expectations. We provide regular updates and a guide they can follow to ensure their child is mastering their courses. We also offer conferences, either in-person or virtually.
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?
If a student is enrolled full time, they can expect to spend six hours devoted to course work.
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 learning methodology that encourages students to identify real world problems and develop solutions for them. We believe this methodology allows students opportunities for in-context experiential learning and for developing critical skills that prepare them for life beyond high school.
