Frequently Asked Questions
How does personalized learning differ from simply working at your own pace?
Personalized learning goes far beyond self-pacing. While flexible pacing is one component, true personalization also includes customized content, varied instructional approaches based on learning styles, different assessment methods, and integration of student interests and strengths. Our Educational Concierge ensures that all these elements work together in a cohesive, intentional learning plan.
Is personalized learning rigorous enough for college preparation?
Absolutely. Personalization doesn't mean lowering standards—quite the opposite. By allowing students to move at the optimal pace and providing the right support, personalized learning often results in students progressing further than they would in a one-size-fits-all approach. Our curriculum is aligned with rigorous standards, and our personalized approach ensures students truly master essential content rather than simply covering it.
How do you balance personalization with ensuring students meet grade-level standards?
Our curriculum is built on a foundation of rigorous standards, and we ensure all students master essential grade-level content. Personalization means we adjust how students reach these standards, providing varied paths, additional time when needed, or acceleration when appropriate—but the destination includes mastery of core content and skills.
How involved are parents in the personalized learning process?
Parents are essential partners in our personalized approach. Your input helps shape your child's learning plan, and regular communication with your Educational Concierge keeps you informed and involved. The level of daily parent involvement varies based on student age and independence, with younger students typically requiring more hands-on support from learning coaches at home.
What if my child's needs change during the school year?
That's the beauty of our personalized approach—it's designed to evolve as your child grows. Your Educational Concierge monitors progress continuously and adjusts the learning plan as needed. Whether your child accelerates more quickly than anticipated, needs additional support in a particular area, or develops new interests, we adapt accordingly.
