Calvert Interactive Featuring ATS
Live Online Instruction and 21st Century Learning
Calvert Interactive is our premier online learning program featuring live classes taught by a Calvert Online Instructor for our Sixth through Eighth Grade students.
Calvert Interactive live classes meet online for two sessions per week on designated days to cover math, grammar, reading, and composition. Students use Calvert-provided technology to learn and interact in class, participate in assigned threaded discussions, complete group projects, conduct peer reviews online, and develop 21st Century collaborative skills that are important in today's academic setting (and tomorrow's workplace).
