Curriculum
The Learning Springs offers over 100 online courses covering core subject areas and electives. Each one-year course contains 36 lessons, with a recommended four- to five-hour commitment per lesson (totaling approximately 144 class hours). A semester course contains eighteen lessons.
“I looked long and hard at various computer based curriculum delivery programs before I settled on Learning Springs. It seems that everything I looked at was extremely expensive or Teacher directed. The problem with this is the fact that staffing for the various classes was costly and required not only computers but books also. I was looking to increase the quality of the curriculum at the same time as I did away with costly replacement books and materials. We couldn’t afford to pay all of the extra teachers required to implement these two programs.
Learning springs has been an outstanding program for us and our students, the costs are really quite reasonable (Cheap would be more like it). The success our students are having makes me wish that we would have used this for the past five years! I think that when you look at it, you will agree that it will give you a greater opportunity to interact with your students and modify poor behavior habits while allowing them to be successful in their education. My students are doing very well with the program. I also like that the school server doesn’t have to hold the program, you’re working off of their server all a student needs is the internet.
Most of our lower functioning students are excelling academically and the parents love the point that they can not only monitor their child but that they can become involved with their child’s education in a reasonable and meaningful manner! The parents are really enthusiastic about the program and the work that their child is completing. It has given me more positive educational feedback this year so far from parents than our old curriculum delivery program ever did.”
