How it works
An Online School For Students With Special Needs & Learning Disabilities
Step 1
Free Assessment
We'll talk through your child's strengths, weaknesses, and academic objectives.
We will share one or more online groups, led by professional educators that fit your student's profile and learning philosophy.
Step 2
Choose Your Certified Teacher
You’ll review 2–4 excellent educator options—all certified, all experienced with students like yours. We’ll share short intros or sample videos to help you choose the one who feels like the best match. Once you decide, you’ll book a relaxed 1:1 video call to meet the teacher, ask questions, and start building a connection.
Step 3
Structured Onboarding
Our parent support team will take your family through a structured onboarding process so learning starts on day one.
Students attend a Student Onboarding Meeting (SOM) to get set up, walk through the tech tools, and meet their teacher. Parents join a Parent Onboarding Meeting (POM) to learn how to support their child, navigate our systems, and understand the first weeks of the program. These meetings ensure both students and families are confident and ready before the first class.
Step 4
Warm Introduction
We will gently introduce your learner to their classmates and warmly onboard them into their microschool.
Step-by-step, your student will get to know their new routines and will start getting excited with their learning goals and projects.
Step 5
The perfect schedule
We’ve carefully designed each schedule to balance structure, focus, and flexibility—combining consistent routines with space to explore, struggle productively, and grow with support. Students get a steady rhythm they can rely on, along with the freedom to move at their own pace, dive into projects, and connect meaningfully with peers and teachers.
Experience
Finally, a school experience that is rigorous and fun!
We believe every student can and should enjoy learning. Children are naturally creative. They learn at a different pace and have different interests, strengths and weaknesses.
- Comprehensive reporting so you always know how your child is progressing.
- Our custom learning pathways help beginner to advanced students build solid foundations as well as advance skills.
- We get creative with projects for their interests — whether that’s games, art, stories, or more!
