Meet Teachers & Staff

Our dynamic and engaging teachers and school staff members make each online school day special for our students! In addition to planning lessons and engaging with students and parents, they grade papers, offer support and keep everyone learning in a positive way.

Meet Office & Administration

Our teachers and staff wouldn’t be able to do what they do for our students without the support of our school administration, our business office and support teams. From IT to communications to accounting and management, our back office and administrators keep our online school moving forward.
