How does Haverford Online Work for Elementary, Middle, and High School?

Elementary

Students at the elementary level will receive a combination of live, interactive and recorded, self-paced instruction. Teachers may also meet with students in small groups or one-on-one throughout the week. 

Elementary students will need support from an adult at home to establish the structure and guidance a younger student needs to establish and manage a daily routine. 

An adult at home can expect to:

• Devote several hours each day to overseeing (not teaching) the child’s school work and ensuring the child is staying on track.
• Set a daily schedule with varied activities and breaks. 
• Communicate frequently with the child’s teacher. 
• Assist with monitoring student progress and comprehension

The role of an adult at home in a virtual learning program is consistent across all cyber programs and is considered a best practice in making virtual learning successful at the elementary level.

Middle and High School

The middle and high school Haverford Online program will include a mix of synchronous and asynchronous teaching, but will include more recorded, flexible work than the elementary program. 

As students become more independent, an adult at home can help to support a student with setting schedules and goals. They will need to verify that lessons and assignments are completed, and may need to communicate with teachers.
