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).

 

Calvert Interactive teaches your student time-management skills, allows for some flexibility compared to other daily live instruction options, and promotes peer-to-peer interaction in the safe environment of a Calvert virtual classroom. Enrollment in ATS Online, the online version of Calvert’s signature testing program, the Advisory Teaching Service, is included with Calvert Interactive.

New for 2008/2009! Instructional Presentations for Science, History, and Geography

In addition to the live, interactive classes covering math, grammar, reading, and composition, students have access to pre-recorded lectures for science, history and geography. These lectures, delivered by a Calvert Online Instructor, reinforce your instruction in the home and allow for greater pacing flexibility.

Assessment and Student Progress 

Student progress in Calvert Interactive is measured by a variety of projects and assignments that are suited to the online environment.

Your child will be evaluated through brief objective quizzes and projects.
