With the stress of parental deployment, frequent moves, and the sacrifices made by family, children in military homes can find it a struggle to receive a well-balanced education within a traditional academic institution. Between making quick social adjustments, changing schools, and connecting with new peers, stability may feel nonexistent.
Fortunately, Mountain Heights Academy is an ideal option for military families of Utah. Virtual schooling is often only thought of as an option for those looking to home-school their children, or for those falling behind in their studies. Parents and students alike are seeing the benefits of online schooling. What makes our online school the right choice for your son or daughter?
Our virtual academy can be the solution to offer your child structure and a consistent education while still providing the necessary flexibility for a busy schedule.
Flexible Schedules
There should be no reason for your child to fall behind due to a station move, or a lack of time. With an online charter school, students and parents can build their own schedules, making it simple to place an emphasis on studies when life becomes hectic. If you’re newly stationed in Utah, Mountain Heights Academy is a reputable option for your child’s education. There’s no need to place them into a traditional schooling system that might bring unwanted social and emotional discomfort. As our schoolwork is divided into modules, each week students have the freedom to work at their own pace and are assured the flexibility to finish assignments when and where they choose.
Parental Involvement
Using our accredited online charter school curriculum can help draw families closer together. As a parent, you’ve likely felt moments of pride and joy in your child as you watch them work diligently at their schooling or as they connect strongly with a topic. There’s a greater opportunity to grow and learn as a team with your child during their virtual schooling.
Building Independence
Traditional school settings provide more than merely an education. We look at this time away from home as an opportunity for a child to grow and develop independence away from home during the weekdays. Some parents might fear that without a common school environment, their child might lose the advantage of gaining early independence or necessary social skills. On the contrary, online schooling provides the benefits of self-directed learning and personalization.
Students aren’t bound to the time restraints of a classroom setting, or the social pressures that often take away from an educational experience. Independence is earned as a student learns to work at their own pace, allowing them to take control of their own studies. With unparalleled teacher interaction that Mountain Heights Academy provides, online classes can help build up confidence and instill an excitement for learning.
Leadership Opportunity
At Mountain Heights Academy your child’s education is our primary focus, however, we understand that developing their real-world skills sets them up for continued success after they’re out of our care. We encourage every student to actively include themselves in their educational community. With opportunities to join clubs centered around their topics of interest, and opportunities to connect with local business and industry leaders, students are given the chance to create connections with the world around them and develop passions outside of the purely educational experience.
Why Mountain Heights Academy
Our online schooling program has been recognized for its excellence in academics and curriculum. We understand the importance of the service that our Utah military members provide, and in turn, we’ll provide exceptional educational services to your child. Mountain Heights Academy is here to empower your students using innovative technology, and student-centered instruction.
