Weekly Schedule

Your time zone:

Live sessions run on Pacific Time and never move. In your time zone, the first live session of the day begins at 8:15 am. The times printed on each live block are your local times. Independent work and breaks are suggestions for shaping the open part of your day — not fixed requirements.

Block Types

Instructional Session

Live, teacher-led lesson covering the week's curriculum scope. Teacher-paced — the teacher sets the week's content, not the student. Teachers may walk through lesson material in real time so students complete part of the assignment during the session. Credit for meaningful participation is at the teacher's discretion.

Workshop

Structured guided practice — not a re-lecture, not office hours. Wednesday and Thursday workshops include active engagement: Kahoot or Gimkit review, group project work, a guided lab, or peer discussion. Teachers keep two or three ready formats and choose based on what students need most.

Study Hall / Drop-In

Open support for any student who needs help. Attendance is voluntary. When attendance is light, teachers pivot immediately to outreach, progress monitoring, grading, or 1:1 intervention. No teacher idles in an empty room.

Enrichment / Friday

Friday is a distinct enrichment day: Bible and monthly chapel, the Assigned Hub session, and an optional progress review. Friday is optional and requires advance registration. Core instructional sessions are never moved to Friday.

Independent Work

Students complete coursework on their own within the week's curriculum window. Shown here as a suggested way to use the open part of the day, not a fixed block. Prep is not a fully synchronous program — live sessions are built to be worth attending, not the only path through the material.

Lunch / Break

A suggested midday pause. Like independent work, its position shifts with your time zone — students set the exact timing around the fixed live sessions.

Scheduling Principles

Live sessions are anchored to Pacific Time. The first live session of each day begins in the 8:00 am hour Pacific. That single broadcast moment is the same for everyone; only its local reading changes — 8:15 am Pacific is 9:15 Mountain, 10:15 Central, and 11:15 Eastern. The live spine never moves relative to itself. Your independent work simply fills whatever part of your local day sits outside it.

Independent work is a suggestion, not a requirement. The dashed blocks show a sensible way to structure the open hours around the fixed sessions. A Pacific student finishes live sessions early and has the afternoon open; an Eastern student has the morning open before sessions begin. Students manage that time as works for them.

Session length is 45 minutes. Allow five minutes at the start and end for transitions. All sessions are recorded and made available to enrolled Prep students, so families in any time zone are never locked out of the content.

Curriculum pacing is teacher-led, not student-led. Teachers follow a weekly scope and sequence per subject. Live sessions are built around where the class should be that week. Students who are ahead may still attend for the review component; students who are behind can complete past work afterward with remediation support during study hall.

Attendance is not mandatory, but sessions are designed to be worth attending. Teachers reward meaningful participation with credit at their discretion — a student who attends, engages, and demonstrates understanding may receive up to full credit for the lesson in lieu of completing it independently. The goal is sessions students want to join.
