Online Special Education Curriculum
Sterling Academy is Cognia accredited and provides curriculum produced by Edgenuity, learn more below
Sterling Academy offers online courses for special education school students in grades K through 12. Students are required to take 4 courses per year, but may take additional courses, such as Art, PE/health, music, technology, world languages, computer usage, Bible, and other electives -- up to 2 full-year electives per year, if desired. The standard curriculum for special education school students are similar subjects as the K-12 Curriculum; but special education students will have their own placement, assessment, IEP (Individualized Education Program), or recommendations tailored to each special student's levels, strength or bent. For example, a special student can have lower language arts level, but with much higher math ability, and so forth. Special students pending on their placement, assessment, IEPs and levels, can take suitable Sterling Academy's regular K-12 core classes if desired. Core courses can be modified or customized for personalized and individualized learning. A special ed student often has his/her own family or private tutor, which is to be complimented and highly recommended. Sterling can provide additional online teaching assistance if needed at reasonable additional cost:
