Academic Choices
In grades 3-8, our students work in four
main academic areas: Language Arts, Math, Social Studies,
and Science. The individual courses within those major areas
are wonderfully varied, and students do work outside of the
computer-based assignments, as well— such as art, science
projects, handwriting practice, etc. On their laptops, the
coursework includes videos, animations, and interactive
learning games that hold the interest of nearly every child.
In grades 9-12, Koala students have a choice of two
programs. Our College Prep program gives students everything
they’ll need for college admission, and requires the
completion of 24 courses (6-per-year). Our General Studies
program is intended for students planning to attend a
technical school or a community college, so courses like
advanced math and foreign language are omitted. The program
requires the completion of just 16 courses (4-per-year),
with each being just half the length of (and much less
challenging than) the College Prep courses— although
students receive a genuine and fully-accredited high school
diploma, not a GED. Koala has something for every student!
