BETA TESTING PHASE
Congrats on Being a Beta Tester!
Over the next 4 weeks, we'll publish a new video for your child to watch 3 nights a week. After watching the video, they are prompted to take a quiz and provide feedback in the comment section. It's our goal to use these suggestions to create a fun, interactive online experience for future co-op students at the HCHC Leadership Academy.
WIN: This online series gives your child access to supplemental videos that recapitulate the subject matter being taught in the classroom, and supports your child's mastery of the week's lesson by supplying review material to reinforce subconscious learning. Students are able to work at their own pace, review what they've learned, expand their vocabulary and practice pronouncing short phrases in Spanish.
WIN-WIN: Your child's participation involves watching videos on a repetitive basis, taking quizzes and providing feedback and comments about their experience on a weekly basis. Over the next 4 weeks, they'll receive the first (5) five modules in this 8-part series free of charge.
That's 30 minutes worth of lessons! - Lifetime access anytime, anywhere!

"I've been waiting for online classes because I can't meet for co-op on Wednesdays or Fridays. So thanks for finding a way to accommodate us working Moms."

"The best part is that my 3 and 6 year old can watch the same videos and both get something out of it. That's a major plus for me!"
- Monique Carrington
"I
highly recommend this class. Languages don't come easy for me so I appreciate the fact that I can go at my own pace and not have to feel embarrassed because I'm a slower learner."
