Introducing the Learning Springs Welcome to the Learning Springs Home Study Program. We have been providing curricula to public and private schools since 1994. Now, you can use the same high-quality courses right in your own home. Our program allows you to choose the exact course(s) you need, both text book and online, and use them at your discretion.
We let you, the parent, function as the Teacher, and you direct your student’s education as you feel best suits his or her needs. You are free to include or exclude any parts you wish, as well as add special assignments to enhance the course of study.
Offering Curriculum and More
We have several types of curricula from which to choose -- text books, online and project based. What makes our program unique is that you also receive a complete syllabus (teacher’s guide) and answer key for each course. These teacher’s guides have been written by highly qualified teachers and educators who have taught these courses in the classroom. We take all the guess-work out of home teaching by breaking our courses into 36 equal lessons and showing you exactly what to do in each one. Tests, quizzes, special reports, activities and much more are detailed in weekly assignments. Some courses include extra workbooks, mid-term and finals tests as well. Many of our text book courses also include a CD ROM and use the internet for a more enhanced educational experience. We offer the complete package, not just a book. Grading Service.
We can offer you the option of hiring an experienced teacher to handle the grading and assist your student throughout the course. Contact us for more information. Elementary & Middle School All children learn and grow in different ways. No single approach is exactly right for every child, and our program reflects that. Our curriculum especially works to promote the development of critical-thinking skills. Students learn to think independently and to learn how to learn. Through our research-based lessons, students become creative thinkers with increased self-esteem and self-confidence. Schooling with The Learning Springs allows the choice of a combination of classes specifically suited to fit each student’s unique needs. PROJECT-BASED CURRICULUM
K-8th Grade This exciting curriculum is based upon award-winning classical literature and hands-on projects. The program is excellent for creative children, as well as for families who want an experience-based curriculum. The Project-based curriculum integrates language arts, math, social studies, health, science, and the arts around major themes. The package of materials also includes a manual which guides parents through the entire year, as well as tests and answer keys. TEXT-BASED CURRICULUM
4th-8th Grade Our textbook curriculum addresses the reading and writing processes with care and sensitivity to the tremendous love of learning inherent in every child. The Text-based curriculum uses books that have been carefully selected for their interest and appeal. This curriculum can be used in a variety of ways, and you can even mix grade levels. We fully understand that children learn at different rates, so we offer you a curriculum that can be adapted to your needs and preferences. The package includes a teacher’s guide to the curriculum, as well as tests and answer keys. Since publishers do not offer a ‘National’ (all 50 states) version of most courses, or 50 different versions, we have chosen the California version of most courses as California is our most populous state and the standards are among the highest in the nation. If you need more information about standards in a specific state, contact us for more information. High School
Our high school curriculum provides students with courses and electives required for graduation, while making their learning a personal experience. We empower our students with the skills to “learn how to learn.” Students can prepare for college, complete Honors-level work, or make up courses missed due to extenuating circumstances. We focus on an active style of learning available through online resources or carefully selected texts. Through independent research, our students become creative thinkers with increased self-esteem and self-confidence. High school students choose from text-based, web-based online, or project-based curricula in College Prep and Honors courses. WEB-BASED ONLINE CURRICULUM
In 1994, The Learning Springs launched the first highly successful, customized online high school curriculum. We now offer over 80 online courses to students worldwide. You have the option of selecting a full online curriculum or choosing one or more online courses to complement text-based courses. Students become global citizens as they learn from the best libraries, museums, and information archives in the world. The result is a multidimensional, interactive learning program that brings education alive through brilliant graphics, stereo sound, and the latest technologies. INTEGRATED HUMANITIES—HIGH SCHOOL LANGUAGE ARTS AND SOCIAL STUDIES COMBINED
This unique text-based program comes from the same author as our project-based curriculum and contains the same principles and elements of project-based integrated learning. It is based upon award-winning literature, with creative assignments and learning activities that provide your student with a rich educational experience in high school language arts and social studies designed around major themes. HONORS CURRICULUM
The Learning Springs offers a wide range of Honors courses in the subject areas of English, history, math, and science. Available in text-based or online format, our Honors courses meet the needs of college-bound students seeking a challenging academic curriculum in a distance learning environment. The Honors program offers students an exciting opportunity to develop the critical thinking, research, and writing skills so essential to academic and professional success. Optional Services and Fees
Learning Styles Profile Interpretation (K-12th) Have you ever wondered why some children learn some things easily, yet other things with great difficulty? The Learning Springs can offer you the opportunity to get more in depth information about your child’s best way of learning. By completing the Learning Styles Profile Interpretation, you will gain valuable information about how and why your child learns the way they do. Many of our courses offer different options for activities, based on the student’s learning style. Is your child more of a print learner, or an audio learner? Is he/she more creatively or mechanically minded? Find out with the Learning Style Profile Interpretation. |
