The Grande Innovation Academy offers an online school option for scholars in the 4th-8th grade. This fantastic program provides our scholars with the best of both worlds: The flexibility of online school and the ability to participate in on-campus after-school clubs, sports, and school events. Using a blended learning platform, our curriculum combines face-to-face instruction, innovative technology, and real-time data to increase personalization, engagement, and mastery of essential skills. The Path to Potential offers a flexible schedule, virtual implementation, direct-instruction videos, on-screen teachers, rigorous assignments and assessments, and a curriculum using learning in layers with hands-on activities for all the core subjects. Self-paced learning allows our scholars to learn at their pace, on their schedule, with 24/7 classroom access. Scholars can access their classrooms anywhere internet access is available. Our team can personalize the experience to meet each scholar’s unique needs, making academic goals achievable.

The Path to Potential is transforming the traditional learning model. The Path to Potential is the best of both worlds for the proactive scholar. The Path to Potential personalizes each scholar’s path by offering semester courses that are divided into modules, allowing scholars the ability to focus on specific learning materials without going through the entire course, repeating what they already know. Our unique teaching model and personalized instruction focuses on mastery learning, and our scholars can review all the content and resubmit assessments throughout their progress in the course. The Path to Potential online school offers a core curriculum, world languages, electives, and advanced courses to assure your scholar is on the right path.

More flexibility to Meet Your Scholars Needs
Traditional schools can be challenging for aspiring athletes and those heavily involved in extracurricular activities to find a balance between school and their interests. Online schools offer flexible schedules that fit the scholar’s life. Scholars at virtual schools don’t have to wait for others or worry about rushing through a difficult concept. This flexible pace allows for mastery of material on your scholar’s terms.

A Proven Curriculum for Homeschooling
Online public schools can be an excellent option for those considering homeschooling. Path to Potential provides a challenging curriculum and daily support.

Fewer Distractions
One of the greatest benefits of online learning is having fewer distractions. With a Learning Coach to monitor progress and keep learning on track, students can focus on their courses without having distraction that comes with the classroom.

Opportunity for Struggling Scholars to Thrive
Online schools can be an academic lifeline for those who:

• grasp new material faster or slower than other scholars
• need the ability to manage health concerns throughout the day
• are rebuilding confidence after experiencing bullying
• accrue many absences because of a difficult-to-accommodate schedule

Better Connections with Family, Friends, and Instructors
Although they may not see classmates daily, scholars at virtual schools often form better connections with the people with whom they interact regularly. Additionally, virtual schools offer more one-on-one time with instructors, which can enhance the learning experience.

With this unique and desirable flexibility, our scholars can focus on specific areas, alter their schedules for the things they’re passionate about, and study at their own pace. For scholars that need to leave early, combining on-campus and online learning is the perfect fit!
