COURSE STRUCTURE
All courses are structured to meet the needs of the learner. Students can opt to learn one course at a time, or a blend of learning. Courses are integrated whenever possible so a student can seek answers from most instructors. Experts in specific content are available on a scheduled basis for Q&A sessions.
The school week is Monday through Thursday with teaching occurring between 9:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. and again from 12:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. Student check-in with their coach is at 9:00 a.m. and check-out begins at 3:00 p.m. It is important to note that students WILL NOT be online during the entire school day. There will be time online with their teachers and there will be times that will work independently. The coaches will schedule time with their individual students each day for personal coaching sessions.
Coaching sessions are available from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. as scheduled, for parents.
Fridays are structured to be explorations, creating, inventing, and playing days. These are vital to the growth and well-being of children.
Ollin has been in incubation for seven years with the think tank participants studying, identifying learning principles, and coming to the realization that a private school is the best ways for this tested principles to reach your child. We have asked ourselves throughout years in public teaching, why we couldn’t change the system? Oh we have tried over and over and have had a small measure of success only to see with the change in public school leadership, any unorthodox methods stopped. Frankly, we could no longer strive to change public education from inside out. It is doing exactly what it was created for…the creation of compliant citizens. You know what we know, that our children are not receiving the education they need or deserve. We have called on courage and trust in God, that Ollin will bless the children and families who want their children to learn and apply what Ollin offers.
Our goal is to create extraordinary educational experiences for all our students, providing opportunities for them to explore their gifts and talents.
Our courses, lessons and environment reflect this reverence for humanity and the humility to remember why we do this work. Why? Because we can aid a child in realizing their divine potential and incredible worth.
