Curriculum is primarily delivered through NovaNET, a computer-assisted instructional network that provides immediate and consistent feedback for the students. The school also provides class workshops focusing on topics such as English or science. According to the literature, This school and our policy is to be based on equity over equality.
Equality means everyone gets the same thing.
Equity means everyone gets what they need. This philosophy is illustrated by the school s willingness to let students choose the direction their education takes. If a student is really into authors like Stephen King or V.C. Andrews, instead of fighting that so much, we can go with it and introduce new reading materials for comparison, Bain says. We allow students to stick with the things they enjoy. Personal attention is one aspect of education the school is happy to deliver.
