Middle School Humanities

Workload

As an intensive main lesson block, students are expected to spend a total of about three hours per day on their studies.  This includes attending class, reading assignments, and doing written work.

Live Sessions

The daily live sessions are critical for developing human connection, and for engaging in genuine conversation with your classmates.  All of our humanities main lessons meet live with the teacher for one hour, four days per week.  Enrollment for these classes are expected to be between ten and twenty-five students.

Recordings

For some classes, in addition to the live session, the teacher may record a short presentation.  These recordings are general fairly short (between 5 and 25 minutes).  Our policy is that these recordings do not include students.

Friday Group Meetings

Some of these main lessons meet in a small group of students (without the instructor) on the one day that the live session with the teacher does not meet.

Assignments

We will provide assignments for the students.

Parent Meetings

The instructor will lead parent meetings in order to answer questions and coach the parents on how to best serve their role.  There will be three parent meetings: on the Wednesday before the block begins, and then on the Wednesdays of the first week and third week of the course.  All parent meetings take place at 6pm MT (which is 8pm ET, 7pm CT, and 5pm PT).

Course Reports

We will provide a course report at the end of the course.

Financial Assistance

We have limited funds for offering financial assistance to families.  You can fill out our financial assistance form to request this.  This form must be submitted and approved before you enroll (both registration and payment).
