The Classical Liberal Arts Academy (CLAA) is designed to support every student, including those who may struggle with the pace or difficulty of their studies. Because the program is built on mastery rather than rigid schedules, students are never left behind and always have access to resources that help them improve.
1. Self-Paced Learning
- All CLAA courses are self-paced.
- Students are free to work through lessons as slowly or quickly as they need to.
- If a student struggles with a concept or lesson, they can take more time to review the material without penalty.
- This flexibility ensures that mastery—not speed—is the goal of every course.
2. Unlimited Resubmissions
- All quizzes, exams, and written assignments remain open for resubmission.
- Students can retake assessments as many times as necessary to improve their scores.
- Only the highest score is recorded, encouraging students to keep trying until they truly understand the material.
- This approach removes the pressure of one-time testing and turns assessments into learning tools.
3. Personal Tutoring Support
- Students who need extra help may schedule private tutoring sessions with Mr. Michael.
- Tutoring meetings provide personalized academic support to clarify difficult concepts, review student work, and guide improvement.
- These sessions also provide “Instructional Time” credit, helping students stay engaged and accountable.
4. Ongoing Academic Support
- Students and parents can contact the Academy for help through the CLAA Help Center:
- Guidance is available on how to approach lessons more effectively, how to prepare for exams, and how to structure daily study.
- CLAA encourages communication, ensuring that students never have to face their challenges alone.
5. Encouragement of Steady Progress
- Because the program does not rely on arbitrary deadlines, struggling students can continue at a manageable pace without fear of falling behind.
- Every student is encouraged to focus on steady daily work, frequent review, and gradual improvement.
- Mastery comes from persistence, not perfection on the first attempt.
Summary
- CLAA supports struggling students through self-paced learning, unlimited resubmissions, personal tutoring, and responsive academic support.
- The program emphasizes mastery over speed, allowing students to progress at a pace appropriate to their needs.
- Struggling students can always receive help without penalty, ensuring that real learning remains the focus.
