Resources
Online learning requires structure, dedication, and discipline. You can support your child by creating an environment that is comfortable and distraction-free. Teachers will be in communication with you and your child so be sure to follow their guidance. As with traditional classes, students must manage their time appropriately and implement good study skills. Feel free to modify one of the Sample Daily Schedules that are provided for every grade level.
Academic help at home
In order to provide our students with academic support outside of their class time, we have partnered with Varsity Tutor: Varisty Tutor provides engaging, 1-to-1 virtual tutoring services that are driven by data and personalized for each student. The result is a live service designed to truly drive measured student achievement gains available to all Richmond County Online Academy students in all subjects. We encourage our online students to take advantage of this opportunity.
