Teacher Support
Get Real Support from Certified Teachers!
When you enroll in our online private school courses, you’ll be connected with an Instructional Support Specialist who is a certified teaching professional, not a bot. You will get support to help you stay on pace, manage your training and school schedule, and set progress goals.
Assignments are graded by your teacher, who will provide constructive feedback and guidance. This setup means you don’t need to be online at the same time as your teacher, allowing you to set your pacing. Online private school students can email their teachers for help, drop-in to study hall for live assistance, or schedule a tutoring session–it’s that easy! Our teachers understand the unique schedules of student-athletes and are flexible with providing you the support!
We understand the needs of our students, so our NCAA-approved online courses feature engaging and informative content. Each course unit typically includes reading material, videos, quizzes, a discussion question, assignments, and a unit assessment. Our goal is to keep you engaged while you learn, making education a more interactive and fun experience.
