A1A - ATHLETES 1ST ACADEMY

Academics

When homeschooling with A1A, you are free to purchase and use the curriculum of your choice.

If you find choosing a curriculum daunting, you may schedule a consultation so that we may help you to choose OR you may purchase one of the three online curriculum options that we provide: Accelerate Education, Edmentum (bothsecular) or Ignitia (Christian-themed).

All programs are entirely self-paced so your students may work at their own speed, when and where their schedules allow.

All programs automatically grade much of the student's work. However, various written assignments may require grading to be done by the parent. A teacher's guide is provided with all programs to make grading easy, and our staff is available to help you with any questions.

When you select one of these programs, we will enroll you with the publisher, manage your account and classes, and support your use if you have any questions or issues.

Each of these online programs is available for an additional cost of $750/student per year.

You may add an Academic Support Package (availability is limited) to either program if you wish at the additional cost of $1500/student per academic year.
