Thales Academy Online

Thales Academy Online is a new online school that utilizes Thales Academy’s brick and mortar curriculum in an online only format. Thales Academy Online has the flexibility and parent engagement of a homeschool program bolstered by the curricular structure, faculty support, and academic rigor of our established network of private schools.

Parents who wish to take an active role in their student’s education with the full instructional support of live online teachers providing our trusted curricular methods and built-in office hours are reassured that their child will meet success in their academic journey from home.

Thales Academy Online is currently available for students throughout the Eastern Time Zone in Kindergarten through 8th Grade, contingent on adequate enrollment to support staffing.

Daily Class Structure

Students enrolled in Thales Academy Online will benefit from a full staff of dedicated online teachers, who will teach both live and pre-recorded lessons. Students will participate in lessons interactively, utilizing the engaging curriculum we use at both the K-5 and 6-8 levels. In grades K-5, we use Direct Instruction, in which teachers ask the class or individual students a question, and students respond. In grades 6-8, we utilize the Socratic Method of discussion, in which all students participate in a group class discussion to come to deeper understandings of the content being studied. In grades K-5, set times will be provided for one-on-one check-in assessments to ensure mastery and retention. Each school day will also include designated time for students to complete work on their own.

Daily Requirements

All students will be held to the same expectations as Thales Academy traditional campus students. Students will be expected to dress in accordance with the Thales dress code, attend class on time and according to the Thales year-round academic calendar, submit assignments on time, etc. Students who do not comply with Thales Academy Online’s expectations will not be permitted to continue with the program.
