Language Arts
Our language arts program provides students with the skills to excel in demanding academic courses or boost their college applications, setting them up for achievement.
How it works
Personalized curriculum
Our teachers are experienced, tailoring their approach to each student's level. We offer the following levels:
-
Level 1: Intermediate level class. This is ideal for new students to boost them to international standards.
-
Level 2: Distinction level class. We offer a challenging curriculum to students to provide deep understanding and reasoning needed for success from middle school to high school and beyond.
-
Students have their own personalized grammar and psychology curriculum to work on the skills that apply to them on top of the normal language arts curriculum.
Curriculum
Our curriculum, rooted in psychology, integrates multiple standards seamlessly.
-
We adhere to the Common Core standards, ensuring that all our students excel at least one year beyond their grade level.
-
We utilize psychology to teach information in the most easily digestible manner. This is through our teaching methodology and curriculum where we teach students how to learn.
-
To vigorously cultivate our students' critical thinking skills, we employ questions grounded in Bloom's taxonomy.
What to expect
Our language arts curriculum empowers students by enhancing their critical thinking and comprehension of language and literature.
2.5 hours of class
The main class is online: 2 hours once a week for the actual class and 30 minutes in the middle of the week for a proctored essay or literary response. Our teachers guide students through difficult literary questions and essay prompts to enhance their critical thinking skills and learn how to formulate their ideas on paper. Students are proctored during class to ensure they are on task and produce work on their own without unapproved sources.
Excellent resources
Our students have an abundance of resources. We dissect and focus on the structure of every part of the essay or literary question from the general flow of the response to the specific formulas of how to write each kind of sentence, all on our online learning portal. Students practice to use these building blocks so they can formulate written responses succinctly and precisely on their own. With structure being handed to students, teachers can focus more on enhancing their critical thinking skills with challenging content in class.
Personalized coursework
We provide a personalized, psychology-based curriculum and grammar curriculum on top of their class in order to learn the emotional intelligence that is key to academic success. We also engage parents to help students keep up with their individualized curriculum with regular updates about their progress. Our community is supportive, positive, and fosters healthy competition.
24/7 Help
We utilize an interactive communication platform to seamlessly link students with teachers, ensuring round-the-clock assistance. Moreover, students have the opportunity to support each other, fostering a collaborative learning environment where prompt help is readily accessible. Not only that, all of our teachers are highly-qualified and have at least a master's degree.
Optimized, authentic learning
Restudying information at the optimal time amplifies retention by up to 200%, and we enforce it. We do in-class essays between official class sessions to encourage students to study soon after class before they forget the information.
Generous trial period
We operate with an open-door policy so you can lock in when you feel ready. You have the opportunity to receive a full refund within the first 30 days of your semester class. We have genuine confidence that you will love our program.
We teach our students how to perform under pressure
As AI becomes more common, schools are implementing strategies to prevent unethical use of AI, making in-class written essays increasingly important for academic performance. We equip students to excel in this environment.
The Research
We use innovative methods, and they have been proven to work by research.
Emotional literacy
"Emotional literacy programs improve children's academic achievement scores and school performance. This isn't an isolated finding; it has been replicated in various studies." (Goleman, 2021, Harvard PhD)
Effective learning
Emerging studies indicate that engaging in higher-order thinking enhances the development of prior knowledge schemas more effectively and profoundly compared to lower-order thinking (Liu et al., 2021).
Breaking the efficiency time-trap
Research indicates that students who have difficulty engaging in higher-order thinking struggle to interact with course material at the expected depth of knowledge in their program (Zoller, 2016).
Growth mindset
Mistakes are the inevitable part of the learning process. School children with growth mindset endorsement performed with higher accuracy after mistakes (Schroeder et al., 2017).
Higher-order thinking
After implementing higher-order thinking, findings demonstrate statistically significant gains in students' academic achievements and proficiency (Teemant et al., 2016).
Enhanced productivity
"People with well-developed emotional skills are also more likely to be content and effective in their lives, mastering the habits of mind that foster their own productivity; people who cannot marshal some control over their emotional life fight inner battles that sabotage their ability for focused work and clear thought." (Goleman, 2021, Harvard PhD)
