ChoicePlus Academy MIDDLE SCHOOL

ChoicePlus Academy MIDDLE SCHOOL


Hi 7th and 8th-grade Students,


We have been so successful with our Choice Plus Academy classes for high school students, we have decided to offer them to 7th and 8th-grade students as well. This platform allows students to meet virtually weekly with the same instructor and the same group of students. They will have a dedicated teacher who assigns, collects, and grades all work.


This is a great option for students who would like to be independent or parents who would like a teacher to take over a particular subject. It also works well for students who like the "classroom" environment. Let your teacher know if you're interested!



____________________________________


CPA courses are taught live by highly qualified teachers (HQTs), and are comprehensive and meet state and Common Core standards.


What these courses include:


1. A live online teacher 1-2 times per week at a scheduled time teaching live online lessons.


2. That live teacher oversees your student’s progress and provides office hours if they have questions about their lessons.


3. That live teacher will help grade your student's work.


This is a great new option for our families with middle schoolers!



Check out all the 2020/21 South Schools' Adopted Curriculum options HERE.

Hi everyone! I am a mom of 3 awesome kids ranging in age from 11 to 7 years old. My husband and I are high school sweethearts and have been married for 17 years. Having homeschooled our children over the last 8 years in 3 different states, I've found homeschooling here in California, especially with Mission Vista Academy, has been a great fit for our homeschool journey. I am grateful for our ability to homeschool so freely and I aspire to assist other families with their own homeschool adventures!

Hi there! I am a mom of two girls, 10 and 11 years old, and have been homeschooling from the start. I am also the wife of a very supportive hubby of almost 14 years. We are raising our children in the Coachella Valley and excited to see how the homeschooling community has grown in our area, as well as the resources. I am very grateful that I have this opportunity to homeschool my children. I love to help and encourage families and assist in building our homeschooling resources in the Desert Area.
