In this article, you will learn all about the structure of these new courses and what they have to offer! 

What’s New?

Students enrolled in the kindergarten through grade 4 classes will receive their own personal math kit! These math kits will help make the material that they are learning even more fun and engaging. 

In addition, for the grade 1 through middle school classes, we will be introducing the large class Think Academy classroom platform. This platform was created to both increase the learning environment quality for the students and teaching environment quality for the instructors. 

Lastly, to further ensure that the students and parents have the resources they need. All of the grade 1 through middle school short-term classes will have a content teacher and local teacher. The content teacher will be responsible for preparing the class and carrying out the lesson plan while the local teacher’s job will be contacting parents and following up with students.
