K-5 Elementary Overview

K-5 Homeschool Only
Families who choose to homeschool their children have an array of opportunities for learning. Families can design, develop, and instruct learning based on what works best for his/her learning. Families who homeschool students can do so based on family dynamics, principles, and beliefs. Your child’s advisory teacher will be able to assist and guide families with as much or as little information as needed. Advisory teachers are available to support and answer questions relating to curriculum, student progress, assessment, and more. Some families choose to develop independent study courses or passion projects. These courses allow students to work independently on assignments. Teachers are available to answer questions and problem solve.
Students can also use ASD-approved vendors for a variety of options. Please see our vendor-approved list. If a vendor is not on the list you can work with your advisory teacher for additional information.

LA & Math
Workshop
Tuesdays & Thursdays
9:30-2:00
Students have the opportunity to participate in a workshop focusing on reading, writing, and math enrichment/support. Students will practice grade-level skills, engage with peers, and build a love of learning. A special emphasis is placed on cooperative learning and incorporating student interests. Teachers assess and identify student progress and adapt instruction to fit individual needs (while also partnering with parents to help them do this in their homeschooling).
Children are provided opportunities to develop skills that are aligned with grade-appropriate standards. No set curriculum is used as parents will be using their own selected curriculum for instruction.

Parents/caregivers may choose to utilize online classes for one or all subjects through a variety of online platforms.

Vendors
Vendors are educational partners that provide services such as tutoring, lessons, etc. Vendors can be used as a supplement to homeschooled subjects, or can be used to teach the entire subject. There are countless approved vendors and many ways to utilize them. Speak directly with your advisor or visit our vendor page to see some of the vendor advertisements.
