What is an educational track?
The idea behind the “track” concept is continual skill development in a particular subject over a period of time, like college classes in a major or minor.
If students are interested in a certain subject, they can participate in classes and learning experiences that build on each other while on the track over time. Yet, there is also freedom to purchase classes and experiences on a track as “a la carte”.
The combination of consistent skill building tracks plus the ability to sign up for classes and experiences at an individual or quarterly level give families optimal flexibility to meet the varying needs and budgets of homeschool families.
