Holston Academy
SCTXTX: TEFAWVAbout Holston Academy
Our school is a vibrant community of families who value the flexibility of participating in an academic program that is personalized to meet the needs of individual students. Upon enrollment, each student is assigned an Academic Coach who works with the student and family to create a Personalized Learning Plan, which includes courses and a schedule for students to complete coursework at their own pace. Academic Coaches meet with their students regularly to review progress, teach study skills, and provide academic counseling. Subject matter teachers guide students through the courses, providing grading, personalized feedback, and support along the way. Tutors are available to help support students on a scheduled or on-demand basis at an additional cost. Students are required to maintain continuous progress on a weekly basis, although they may skip weeks from time to time by arrangement with their Academic Coach. Holston Academy is a mastery-based program. Students receive credit for demonstrating that they know the material required. They may test out of units they have already mastered or slow down to spend more time on new or difficult material.
Overview
- What they offer
- An accredited online school for grades 6 through 12 offering self-paced coursework from a catalog of more than 300 courses. Each student is paired with an Academic Coach who helps build a Personalized Learning Plan, with additional support available from tutors and teachers.
- Best suited for
- Students wanting a small, personalized online learning community rather than a large traditional school, for grades 6 through 12, including gifted students working above grade level in a subject and students catching up in a subject, since course placement is based on academic proficiency rather than grade or age.
