Build the schedule
that fits your child.
The baseline: core academics taught live in a morning learning pod and independent work in Studio, plus the option to layer in sustained 1:1 subject instruction when your child needs more. Every piece designed around how your child actually learns.
Core academics in the morning learning pod
Every school morning, core academics happen live in a learning pod: the same handful of students, the same Recess adult, and a mastery bar everyone clears. Working alongside familiar faces keeps the momentum going, with an adult close enough to catch every gap.
Your child works with the same small group every morning. The routine carries the day: show up, settle in, start.
Live, synchronous instruction from a Recess adult who knows every student in the room by name.
Each unit has explicit mastery criteria. Students move forward on demonstrated mastery and loop back without shame when something doesn't stick.
When a concept needs more than the pod hour, your child gets 1:1 academic support, scheduled to the need.
Self-directed classes
Independent study on a structured curriculum your child can move through at their own pace. Every self-directed class includes 24/7 access to our Instant Help Center.
Each class has a clear scope and sequence. Within it, your child controls the pace.
Weekly progress reviews, recap emails, and progress reports - you always know where your child stands, well before any report card.
Self-directed is a different shape of learning for the right subjects, held to the same mastery bar.
Every self-directed class has a tutor built right into the curriculum. Your child posts a stuck math step, a confusing passage, or a writing block - and gets a worked-through, step-by-step explanation back in seconds. Around the clock, no waiting on email.
When you want more 1:1 in a subject
Sustained 1:1 in a single subject - math, writing, a language, exam prep - with a subject teacher. Available whenever your child needs it, designed with your family as an add-on to baseline.
Math with a math teacher. Writing with a writing teacher. Spanish with a Spanish teacher.
Depth, length, and cadence get designed on the intake call - tuned to your child's specific gap or goal.
1:1 subject work supplements the morning pod, Studio, and enrichment classes.
