Science K brings science alive by providing students a combination of virtual lab investigations (with options for hands-on learning), interactive lessons that provide opportunities for inquiry, and an array of e-books that capture students’ attention and grow their interest in science.
The curriculum begins with an overview of what science is and who scientists are. Students then focus on plant and animal relationships and analyze the weather. In the last half of the course, students explore how the sun affects their world and explore the interactions between different forces.
This course calls for the following household materials, though they are optional, since digital versions of all labs are available:
*Students may choose to keep a digital Science Notebook.

Math K is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in mathematical concepts. Students master content through a combination of teacher-led instruction (either live or via embedded video within the course) and independent practice, both online and offline. Teacher-led instruction engages students using online resources, including virtual manipulatives, videos demonstrating concepts with physical manipulatives, and videos teaching concepts through song. During independent practice, students solve problems online, often working with virtual manipulatives, and offline in an activity book. The Math K curriculum begins with a heavy emphasis on numbers and counting, leading to an understanding of addition and subtraction. Throughout the Math K course, students also explore mathematical concepts found around them in the world, including clocks and calendars, position and patterns, subtilizing, shapes, measurable attributes, and money.
This course requires the following household materials:

The English Language Arts K program comprises two courses, ELA K and Phonics K. The program provides kindergarten students with a complete early literacy learning experience. Students work through structured lessons that emphasize reading readiness, phonics, language skills, literature, writing skills, and handwriting.
Phonics prepares students to become independent readers through teacher-led, systematic, multisensory instruction in a developmentally appropriate manner. Students review letter names, practice phonological awareness, and learn decoding skills and sight words. Letter tiles, a variety of interactive games and activities, and decodable readers (brief stories that consist entirely of words students can read independently) support multimodal learning.

The English Language Arts 1 program comprises two courses, ELA 1 and Phonics 1. The program provides a well-balanced approach to literacy that integrates phonics, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, spelling, and handwriting.
Phonics prepares students to become independent readers through teacher-led, systematic, multisensory instruction in a developmentally appropriate manner. Students review phonological awareness and learn advanced decoding skills and sight words. Letter tiles, a variety of interactive games and activities, and decodable readers (brief stories that consist entirely of words students can read independently) support multimodal learning. Spelling instruction begins in the second half of the first semester in ELA 1, building on the foundation of letter-sound knowledge previously mastered in Phonics.

The English Language Arts 1 program comprises two courses, ELA 1 and Phonics 1. The program provides a well-balanced approach to literacy that integrates phonics, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, spelling, and handwriting. Students develop comprehension, build vocabulary, and gain a lifelong interest in reading. Thematic units in literacy contain workshops in which instruction is anchored by a focus text. Through a combination of teacher-led instruction (either live or via embedded video within the course) and independent practice (both online and offline), students build knowledge by exploring both classic and contemporary works in different genres and formats—fiction, poetry, drama, nonfiction, trade books, magazines, and e-books. Beginning in the second semester, students complete focused grammar activities and write a variety of compositions by following the writing process.

This course is a Project Based Learning course (PBL). This course is designed as an exploration of the arts, audio/video technology, and communications pathways. Students will get an introduction to arts, audio/video technology, and communications careers so that they can better assess which pathway to pursue. In this course students explore basic concepts in the broad areas of art, audio/video technology, and communication, as well as career options in each area. Students study the concepts of technology skills, audio/video technology, communications, art appreciation, visual and performing arts, journalism and broadcasting, and telecommunications. Students complete projects to develop a deeper understanding of the essential skills and knowledge required for a career in arts, audio/video, or communications.
