Programs - Spark Seed Academy

Program 1

Personalized Academic Program

Live instruction built around your student’s Brain Map Profile. Lessons are one-on-one, with small groups (maximum 3 students) available by request. Families choose daytime or after-school hours — the 12-week courses and mastery standards are the same either way.

Personalized Package

A bundle of three 12-week courses. Choose from our academic and enrichment courses — and one of the three can be a Spark Lab course.

One-on-One or Small Group

Lessons are one-on-one. A small-group course (maximum 3 students) is available by request.

Additional Courses — Upon Request

Interested in more than three courses? Contact us and we will build a plan around your student’s goals and schedule.

Live instruction plus self-study. Each course combines live sessions with guided self-study time for completion.
Completed at mastery. Courses are designed for 12 weeks; a course is marked complete only when your student reaches the mastery goal.
Expert faculty. Academic courses are taught by Harvard-educated or similarly credentialed experts in the field.
Start with two. If your student starts with 2 courses, the 3rd remains on credit. Activate it with one week’s notice, pending availability.
