FathPrep provides a dedicated system to parents and students. In grades K-5, working closely with the teacher, the parent(or other responsible adult) serves as a Faith Coach to the child, helping to facilitate his or her progress and working to modify the pace and schedule as needed.
Parent/Faith Coach involvement is critical for the success of the student, but the level of involvement may vary per child and grade level. The initial 4-8 weeks can be intensive, as families settle into a routine.
Grades K-2: Parent/Faith Coach daily involvement is critical and approximately 10-15 percent of this is online.  The Faith Coach is expected to:

• Spend 4 to 6 hours per day working with your student—at this early stage, it is important to be very hands-on and available
• Help your young learner understand what to do each day and how to do it
• Lead offline activities and help your child develop foundational reading and writing skills
• Make sure your student attends all required Class Connect sessions
• Gather and organize course materials as needed

Grades 3-5: Students began to have increased independence, but Parent/Faith Coach involvement is essential for 70-80 percent of school time and approximately 15-25 percent of this time is online.  The Faith Coach is expected to:

• Spend 4 to 6 hours per day working with your student
• Be actively engaged and available throughout most of the school day
• Lead offline activities and help your learner develop foundational reading and writing skills
• Make sure your child attends all required Class Connect sessions
• Keep your student motivated and on track, teaching them to manage their time and helping them become an independent learner

Teachers provide individual and small group instruction via online synchronous sessions titled Class Concepts. It is expected that students attend and meet with teachers to receive direct instruction and remediation. These sessions vary by grade level and are scheduled by your teacher based on a student's Individualized Learning Plan.

Attendance is logged Monday through Friday according to a traditional school calendar, however, academic progress can be achieved during weekends as well K-5 students are expected to spend approximately 4-7 hours on schoolwork per school day.

• Grades K-2: Estimate approximately 4-5 hours productive school work for 5 days per week
• Grades 3-5: Estimate approximately 5-7 hours of effective school work for 5 days per week

Students in grades K-5 are required to show mastery of each lesson by achieving 80 percent or better on all lesson assessments. If a student is finding it difficult to master a lesson, the Faith Coach must contact his or her student's teacher. Teachers offer many support sessions to assist their students. Assignments that demonstrate student mastery in lessons are also required to be sent to the teacher.

Our testing is purposeful and meaningful and drives our instructional practices to best serve the individual needs of your child.

In some students with private school vouchers, FaithPrep students must comply with certain state-mandated testing requirements. 

 FaithPrep uses a quality curriculum from Stride K12 for its core and elective courses. The Stride K12 curriculum is designed to let students find the learning style that works best for them and to enable them to find their own path to success.

The curriculum is wrapped with rich, engaging content that captivates minds-the minds that usually wander when traditional classes are too slow, the minds that get lost in the shuffle, the minds that need a little more time.
We also use a biblical worldview curriculum from Summit Ministries as part of our Servant Learner program. This curriculum, along with the discussions and activities, will help students build a foundation of faith to understand God, his word and how this truth applies to their lives.

At FaithPrep, we nurture inquisitive minds with the Stride K12 approach that Big ideas + Consecutive Down Payments + Practice = Mastery. Throughout the K-5 course offerings, you will find certain recurring themes that build on the previous grade's teaching and weave an ever-richer tapestry of knowledge. The individualized approach means students can go as fast or slow as they need to. And with more than 700 lessons per subject, they can dive deeply into areas of interest.

The Stride K12 curriculum includes five core course - language arts/English, math, science, history, and art as well as electives.
The lesson plans for each subject are integrated, so your child may be reading literature from the same time period as the art or history lesson being studied. A story about a king who lost his wife dovetails with an examination of the architecture and history of the Taj Mahal, built as a monument to a dead queen.

Lessons come to life with a rich mixture of online and offline teaching tools, including interactive animations, printed books with beautiful illustrations and narrative, original music, videos, and materials for hands-on experiments. *Lessons are followed by assessments, so you can be sure that your child has mastered a particular concept before moving on, and built-in planning and progress tools make it easy to keep on track.
*offline materials vary by grade and course.
