Language Arts/English: Online kindergarten students receive structured lessons on readiness skills through emphasis on phonics, language skills, literature, and handwriting to help develop comprehension, build vocabulary, and promote a lifelong interest in reading.
Math: Students are introduced to numbers up to 30. They learn through reading, writing, counting, comparing, ordering, adding, and subtracting. Students solve problems and encounter early concepts in place value, time, length, weight, and capacity. They also study two- and three-dimensional figures.
Science: Students begin to develop observation skills as they learn about the five senses, the composition of the earth, and the basic needs of plants and animals. Students also explore measurement, matter, the seasonal cycle, our earth, motion, and astronomy.
History: Students learn the basics of world geography and are introduced to American history and civics. Supplementary lessons introduce symbols representing American freedom; the laws, rights, and responsibilities of citizens; U.S. cultures and traditions; and basic economic concepts.
World Languages: Beginners to world languages learn through contextual interpretation and imitation. This appealing adventure for young minds includes integrated, game-based rewards to keep students motivated.
Art: Students are introduced to line, shape, color, and more. They learn about portraits and landscapes, and realistic and abstract art. Students explore paintings, sculpture, and architecture, and create artworks similar to the works they have studied.
Music: Students build foundational skills through singing, dancing, virtual instruments, listening maps, and authentic sound recordings. They learn about musical elements, explore music around the world, and perform seasonal and celebratory songs.
