Frequently Asked Questions

Will my child learn in this school?

For the most part, grammar and vocabulary have been eliminated from public school education. These two areas are essential for strong language education.

Is this a virtual class or taught in person?

This is a virtual class. There will be a lot of interactions between the teacher and the students, just like in the traditional class setting.

Is this program right for my child who needs to get ahead or catch up?

A formal study of English grammar and vocabulary is the basis of language study. Building a sense of structure and syntax, and understanding origins of and relationships between words, strengthens language skills. Whether a child is academically advanced or academically behind, further progress only happens through language dissection. Please see research articles that provide further information.

How do we assess what is the appropriate level for a child?

Grade level and reading level are two important indicators that determine appropriate study levels. Furthermore, our levels build slowly from sentence writing to advanced academic writing, just as students are taught in school. Level 1 introduces grammar and sentence writing skills; level 2 introduces more grammar and paragraph writing skills; level 3 builds on grammar from the first two levels and introduces essay writing skills.

What is the student to teacher ratio?

We try to keep class levels small to ensure regular student-teacher interaction. Our student/teacher ratio is 12:1.

When does the program start and what time are the classes?

Due to the current COVID pandemic causing major changes in school schedules from town-to-town, we are speaking directly with families to set up a convenient time for everyone. At the moment, we hope to begin the week of February 1 and are aiming for afternoon classes. We are getting information that students have classes with their teachers earlier in the day and are typically done by lunch. We believe a 1:00 PM class would be easiest for all parents. We will, of course, confirm with parents individually and set a convenient time for everyone.

What are the teachers’ credentials?

All our teachers are experienced in the subject matter. They know the materials very well and are experienced in teaching children.
