In 2020, LAOLA provided a rigorous full time online learning option for families who preferred to have their students attend school from home. “These are skills needed to be successful adults,” she added. This kind of flexibility fosters student growth in responsibility for attending classes, accountability for completing assignments, and time management to get it all done. “Our online families are able to travel and have children attend their regular daily classes from any location that has access to the internet. “Our asynchronous afternoon schedule allows the flexibility for students to pursue outside interests and passions such as sports, the arts, or 4H,” explained Mrs. Students complete work independently and meet their teachers in the afternoons for questions, tutoring, and enrichment. Teachers use explicit instructional strategies in whole and small groups, giving students time to practice skills in a synchronized learning environment. In partnership with families, teachers are able to provide individualized instruction to meet students’ learning needs. Students attend class online every day from 8:30 am to 12:15 pm.
