Core Curriculum
"Children need to be trained to do their own perceiving, to expect the unfoldment of ideas in themselves and to learn that they are the ones who must carry out ideas in action. They must be given many opportunities to learn what it means to hold fast to an idea, what work is required on their part to bring forth in action an idea, and what satisfaction results from achievement." from Foundation Stones, (p. 55-56) by Sarah Pyle Smart, founder of the Daycroft School.
We offer a choice of over 200 exceptional courses for students in grades K through 12. The core curriculum includes the following subject areas in all grade levels:
- Language Arts/English
- Math
- Science
- History
- World Languages
- Art
- Music
High school students may also choose from a variety of electives such as web design, Flash animation, game design and accounting.
Sample Lessons
The courses are designed to provide the right balance between online interactive lessons and offline activities. The amount of online time varies with the grade level. Some of the courses feature "adaptive technology" which automatically adjusts the content and amount of reinforcement based on the student's mastery of the concepts.
More Than Just Lessons
The courses from each company are more than just lessons. Easy-to-use tools work hand-in-hand with the curriculum to help you plan your day and track your student's progress.
Placement in Math and Language Arts
The Daycroft OLC director and the education specialist work with families to determine the proper placement for each student. If repeating a course is in the child's best interest, we help the parent-teacher to identify and master any "holes" in the student's understanding, allowing the student to quickly recover and move ahead. The learning path is completely individualized, so students can move to the next level of a course at any time during the year.
