Approximate hours of homework given |
Our program follows a hybrid learning model, meaning students complete their core academic courses online in the morning with in-house facilitators. In the afternoon, they participate in enrichment programs led by our in-house teachers. Since students have the flexibility to work independently or from home as an option, our program does not require homework completion outside of school hours. However, if students choose to engage in additional learning or review, the suggested time for completing homework would depend on individual needs and academic goals rather than a set requirement. |

Learning support offered |
Our program follows a holistic and individualized approach, ensuring students receive personalized support to meet their unique learning needs. Given our small class size, we provide one-on-one learning support, allowing students to progress at their own pace while being nurtured in a Christ-centered environment. Support We Offer for Students:
✔ Personalized Learning Plans: We continuously evaluate students to determine their appropriate grade level and design a customized learning plan tailored to their strengths, challenges, and goals. ✔ One-on-One Instruction: Our small program allows us to provide individualized attention, ensuring that students receive the support they need in areas requiring additional guidance. ✔ Flexible Pacing: Students are not restricted by traditional grade structures; instead, they advance based on mastery of skills rather than a fixed timeline. This encourages confidence and deeper understanding. ✔ Facilitator & Teacher Support: Our in-house facilitators guide students through their core academics in the morning, while our enrichment program in the afternoon enhances their learning experience through hands-on and interactive instruction. ✔ Ongoing Assessments & Adjustments: We conduct constant evaluations to monitor student progress and adjust their learning plans as needed. This ensures that every student works at the level best suited for them. By combining faith-based education, personalized learning, and continuous support, we cultivate an environment where students develop academically, spiritually, emotionally, and socially, preparing them for success in both their personal and academic lives. |
The school supports gifted, able and talented students |
How Does CLAS Support Gifted, Able, and Talented Students?
Ways We Support Gifted Students:
At CLAS, students are not confined to traditional grade levels. Through continuous assessments, we identify their strengths and design customized learning plans that enable them to advance beyond standard curricula in subjects where they excel.
Gifted students are given the flexibility to advance faster in their core academic subjects.
Our small school setting ensures that each student receives individualized support from facilitators and teachers.
We believe that giftedness is a God-given ability that should be nurtured with wisdom and humility.
Since CLAS operates as a hybrid program, students can work independently or explore subjects of interest at home, giving them autonomy in their learning.
We encourage gifted students to lead in group discussions, assist peers, and participate in outreach initiatives.
