How much time should my child expect to spend?
During the academic year our weekly inverted learning classes are 2 hours long (with breaks between subjects). Outside of class, successful students spend approx. 20-30 minutes reviewing material each day, or a total of 2 hours at least. This includes pre-watching the lesson, completing exercises (answer keys included in binder) to review in class, reviewing vocabulary words on our Memrise Flashcard App.
During the summer session classes meet daily for 3 hours with additional work to be completed in the evenings.
What supplies and equipment will my child need for this program?
Upon enrollment, each student will receive a specialized learning kit with all the required course material.
Every student is expected to have access to a laptop/desktop with a strong internet connection. Our instructors like to keep classes engaging and interactive as such students will need a space where they can refer to their Fawakih binders and take notes.
