We have heard a lot of questions about the re-phase schedule and would love to help support you in your decisions. One area, in particular, is how much time a scholar will be in front of a teacher live (virtually or in-person) under each model.
If re-phased is selected:
Scholar will be at OMS from 8:35 - 12:20 PM TWO days a week (M/R or T/F). The rest of the time will be asynchronous learning with connections for 20 min M, T, R, and F.
If virtual is selected:
Scholars will be live with teachers from 1:00 - 2:05 PM M, T, R, and F, plus Connections until 2:30 those same days. The rest of the time will be for asynchronous learning.
Please let us know any questions you may have and we will do our best to answer them if we can or redirect you to an answer if there is one.
