The Curriculum at Online Private Elementary Schools 

Young minds require a solid foundation of knowledge to support future learning. In grades K–5, our accredited online and private elementary curriculum helps lower school students learn the basics, acquire study skills, and develop a love of learning that will last a lifetime. Elementary school students at Pearson Online Academy focus on the core subjects in the private elementary schools' curriculum: reading, writing, science, math, and social studies.*

Course Electives and Activities

Pearson Online Academy understands the importance of offering online private elementary school course electives and activities to give young students a well-rounded educational experience. Electives cover a wide range of topics from learning a world language to mastering the skills of daily living to appreciating the arts. Our many activities and clubs also provide opportunities for students to learn by doing.

* To verify learning, teachers conduct curriculum-based assessments by phone for all core courses. This assessment must be completed prior to the end date of each course and is required for a student to receive course credit. Students who do not complete the curriculum-based assessment call will not earn course credit.

Note: Participation in our online environment requires appropriate computer equipment and Internet access. Before continuing with the enrollment process, please review the technology requirements.
