Some of you found us because you simply want your child in a live, structured classroom with a certified Christian teacher who knows exactly what she’s doing.
Some of you found us because you’ve tried the curricula, the co-ops, and the schedules, but you’re ready for something that actually holds together, so you don’t lose your mind. Either way, you’re in exactly the right place.
These are the years that determine everything that comes after, the years when a child either learns to read or begins to fall behind. Our literacy specialists, trained in structured literacy and experienced with dyslexia, make sure your child learns to read, really read, no matter how he’s wired. Children don’t “pick up” reading like they do speaking. They need structured literacy. These years are too important to leave to chance.
Something shifts at this age, something worth celebrating. Your child has crossed the threshold from learning to read to reading to learn, and the whole world is opening up. He is ready to own his education, ready for real friendships with kids who share his values, and ready for teachers who take him seriously. Our 4th and 5th Grade Pod meets him exactly where he is, building the academic responsibility, the confidence, and the community he needs to walk boldly into middle school.
These are the years when everything feels uncertain, the social rules keep changing, the doubts start creeping in, and she needs trusted adults around her who won’t flinch at hard questions. Our Middle School Pod surrounds her with teachers who know her by name, peers who share her faith, and a community where biblical truth isn’t an afterthought but the foundation. She still needs you, and she still needs mentors she trusts. We show up as those mentors, every single school day.
These years go fast, faster than either of you expects. Your teenager is making decisions that will shape his adult life, building friendships that may last a lifetime, and beginning to own his faith as something personal and real, not just inherited. He needs a tribe of peers who are asking the same hard questions he is, teachers who take his mind seriously, and academics that prepare him for whatever God has next. Our High School Pod gives him all of that, an individualized education, a faithful community, and the space to become exactly who he was made to be.
Some learners thrive with great instruction alone. Others need someone in their corner every single week, a mentor who knows them, tracks their progress, advocates for their needs, and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks. That’s what our Bridge program is for.
Bridge is an add-on available for 4th grade and up, designed for learners who need more than excellent teaching. It includes strategy sessions, special education advocacy, regular parent communication, and weekly mentoring that focuses on whatever your child needs: from how to manage the stress of school to how to regulate emotions, from how to be brave to how to trust God and do hard things. For learners with bigger gaps, Bridge with Tutoring adds three hours of tutoring per week alongside everything else.
We know what we’re doing. Your child can learn and we can help. Our program is designed especially to get results academically, socially, mentally, all by the mercy, equipping, and grace of the Lord.
If you’re not sure whether your child needs Bridge, try a free class first. We’ll help you figure it out together.

Students meet live with the teacher and a group of students. The benefits of live courses are that students have interaction with a teacher and peers in a community. Longer (multi-day, semester, and subscription) courses offer them the ability to develop relationships with their teacher and peers while studying content that builds on previous learning such as longer-range essays, projects, and assignments with teacher feedback.
Live courses can be a:
Teacher and learner are “synced” together for learning but not at the exact same moment like in a scheduled live class (the “a” in “asynchronous!”
These are courses that give students the flexibility to work when they can, but they still have deadlines and accountability with a teacher! Learners have a teacher getting to know them, guiding them and interacting with them, offering feedback, and grading their work. The course includes video lessons, interactive activities, assignments, and quizzes. As this is an asynchronous course, there are no live classes. These courses are less expensive and very flexible, while still having interaction with a teacher.
Async Courses can be:
Students have access to curriculum or lessons and can go through them at their own pace or “on demand.” There are no live classes and students complete the lessons independent of a teacher. The benefits of the online lessons are that they are the most affordable way to experience an excellent curriculum with videos, interactive material, and quizzes. For younger students, parents are able to direct them through the learning; for older students, they can often navigate the lessons on their own.
Think of the online curriculum as an interactive, video-based, online book!
Online curriculum can be a:
Students meet with a degreed and certified teacher in a one-on-one live session. Your teacher will help you with the school work you already have or will design a custom curriculum for you. Price varies by teacher and whether your instructor is designing a custom curriculum or if you are bringing your homework for some support.
Tutoring can be:
In a subscription course, students complete lessons and/or meet on a regular basis, based on the subscription terms. For example, they may meet once per week, every other week, or three times per week. Payment is made per subscription terms, and you are not charged for weeks you don’t meet.
A Micro Lesson is a super quick lesson on one skill or concept, usually comprising of a video lesson for 1-3 minutes and an interactive activity.
A one-time course is one live meeting. It’s a great chance to try out a teacher to see if it’s a good fit or learning something in a short live lesson.
In a multi-day course, students meet and/or complete work over a period of days or weeks. It is shorter than an entire semester.
In a semester course like this, students meet or complete work for an entire semester (half a school year) or trimester (a third of the school year).
In a yearlong course like this, students meet or complete work for an entire year.
Groups are like clubs where groups of learners gather with like-minded peers to study, explore, read, talk, or play. A book club, lifegroup, or gaming team are great examples!
This is a course for adults, who have a coach and course to support them in gaining knowledge or skills. For example, our Orton-Gillingham early literacy teachers coach moms and dads who are teaching their children with dyslexia how to read. Another example is when Mrs. Lemons coaches teachers with lesson planning or classroom management, or she coaches teacher entrepreneuers in their teaching business.
Coaching can be a mix of self-paced learning, cohorts, live, webinars, small group, or 1-1.
