How will classes be offered and what type of scheduling will iLumenEd Academy utilize?

Families with students in 6 - 12 grades have the opportunity to participate in a grade level course load in its entirety or select courses à la carte through both a synchronous (live educationalists) and asynchronous (recorded) format. Recognizing the need for schedule flexibility for families, courses are scheduled around a university model with Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday sequences. Fridays remain open for independent study and one-on-one tutoring opportunities. K-5 students can choose the time that best fits their schedule since the program is asynchronous/video based. The iLumenEd facilitator will be available each day from 8 am - 4 pm EST.
