Introducing Oklahoma Calvert Academy: Tuition-free Oklahoma Virtual School
Calvert has been selected by Epic One on One Charter School to launch a new virtual school program for Oklahoma students in Pre-Kindergarten-Eighth Grade. Oklahoma Calvert Academy (OKCAL) is a tuition-free virtual public charter school serving students throughout Oklahoma. OKCAL provides access to the world-renowned and trusted Calvert curriculum to students in a virtual school setting.
Oklahoma Calvert Academy believes that you, as a parent, have more than just a choice of where your child is educated, you have to ability to direct and steer your student’s learning experience to fit the goals and needs of your family. OKCAL provides that opportunity for parents through its virtual school program. At OKCAL, students get the best of home education with all of the benefits and support services of a public charter school. While parents get to guide their student’s academic experience with the instructional support of highly-qualified and certified teachers.
Many people wonder how a virtual public charter school works. What is a typical day like? What role does the parent play? How much of the lesson is conducted online?
Students who enroll in our Oklahoma virtual school program will learn from home in a blended online and offline environment. They frequently participate in online classes conducted by highly qualified instructors but students also work offline using provided textbooks from major publishers, workbooks, activity books, and supplies. You, as the parent or guardian, serve as the Learning Guide; offering assistance, verifying work, and communicating with the supervising instructor.
So how do you know if OKCAL is right for you and your family? “OKCAL is perfect for students who would thrive in an alternative to the traditional classroom setting. With the flexibility inherent in virtual education, students are able to learn at their own pace, whether they need to accelerate or if they are in need of remediation. In addition, virtual education helps accommodate families with scheduling conflicts or those students whose parents desire to be with their children more and exercise more control over their social and learning environments,” said Richard Rasmus, CEO of Calvert Education Services.
Oklahoma Calvert Academy brings together two academic leaders, Epic One on One Charter School and Calvert Education Services, to provide innovative and 21st century learning that gives students skills such as collaborative learning, leadership development, and increased technological application. Skills that are vital to success in the present economy.
OKCAL is now accepting enrollments for the 2011-2012 academic year! To learn more about OKCAL call us at (888) 487-4652 or request more information today!
