E-School Virtual Elementary School

I love working at this school! Most teachers here only teach one grade, which is not the norm for virtual teachers. I am a special education teacher, so I teach K-3rd. Most teachers in virtual schools teach multiple grades with multiple curriculums, even though they are only certified to teach in one area. All of our teachers are certified and highly qualified to teach the grade or subjects that they are assigned. We don't have elementary teachers teaching calculus or calculus teachers trying to teach kindergarten reading. We have an award winning, rigorous curriculum that is not dumbed down, and a supplemental curriculum for students needing remedial help. These programs meet or exceed the state standards and parents can spend more time on things their kids need to learn, and less time on things they have already mastered. Most students are usually a little behind when they first enroll, but they get caught up quickly because they spend quality time with their parents mastering skills without being rushed through lessons, or waiting on other students to finish. We set up zooms (virtual classrooms) with our students and help them learn new skills or fill in the gaps where they missed things. We do "talk time" or "virtual lunch hour" where students can socialize with their classmates in zoom. We encourage participation, although it's not mandatory. I also love working from the safety and comfort of my home!

My daughter completed first grade at ESchool! She learned so much and received an excellent education. She went from barely reading to finishing chapter books. We love the flexibility and independence offer through virtual learning. It’s a challenging curriculum meant to offer every student a chance to succeed!

My kindergartner is learning a lot more than his brothers at the same age. This school is not easy, but it's challenging in a good way and my child is reading a lot better than his friends, and his brothers when they were this age. I can help him with things he doesn't understand and go over the lessons more than once until he gets it. That does not happen in the local schools because teachers only have so much time to teach and the kids get it or they don't. I love being able to take more time where I need to and complete other things early and move ahead. We are not wasting any time and we never work longer than 3 hours per day.
