Flexible Schedule

Asynchronous instruction offer students the ability to log on and complete assignment on your schedule. Students can move ahead in instruction (within reason) and fit your academic schedule into your and your family’s life.

What does a typical day/week look like?

Students meet with Advisor at least once a week - in-person or via video conference
Students log on to courses for at least five hours a day Monday-Friday - on their own time and schedule
Students make progress toward completion in each course each week

Hybrid learning simply blends a student’s independent study with on-campus seminar classes. Our hybrid learning model has students completing 70% of their work independently and 30% at our school site in seminars, tutoring sessions, or meeting one-on-one with their Advisor. Students are free to come and work on campus in the iGranada building where subject-specific experts are on hand each day – typically for 4-6 hours.

Tutors offer assistance on assignments or answer questions. Hybrid learning has been shown to improve student performance and is typically how most colleges or universities operate.

Students should have or be willing to learn greater time management, responsibility, scheduling, and other valuable life skills that will help them succeed here and in life. The family should be willing to devote extra time monitoring and engaging with their student about their progress, social and emotional health, understanding or difficulties, interests, high school plan, and graduation requirements.

Supportive Community

Regular meetings with an academic advisor facilitiates a tiered system of intervention and re-engagement through a web of instructional support between Teachers, Advisors, Counselors, and Parents.

Hold office hours for support

Role of the Advisor
