Elementary School
The elementary program is grounded in the belief that all students can reach their potential and thrive in a cyber environment through solid partnership between parents/Learning Coaches and staff. Each day, students log in to dynamic, live classroom sessions, as they work with their teacher and peers to master grade-level standards.
Content
At each grade level, students are exposed to the following four content areas: English language arts, math, history and science. In addition to core content courses, students will experience keyboarding, health/PE and time dedicated to small-group support. Through small-group support, Agora teachers develop personalized lessons that meet identified areas of growth for the students they support. Agora students play an active role in their learning. They use live and offline instruction to follow a rigorous curriculum. Students work closely with a team of core content teachers and Family Coaches to set and achieve learning goals.

Engagement
Students in kindergarten through grade 2 will be with one teacher for each core subject. However, in grades 3 to 5, students will work with a team of teachers who each teach a specific core subject. Agora elementary teachers use their talents to develop and execute engaging, academically challenging lessons to meet the diverse needs of the learners in the classroom. Agora teachers and staff work alongside students and Learning Coaches to develop warm, caring learning environments where students can take academic risks in a safe space. Teachers and students work to create a classroom community where students engage through the use of webcams, microphones, chat and whiteboard tools. It is our goal each day to help students achieve their highest potential.

Enrichment
Throughout the years, Agora has continued to refine the way we enrich our highest level of learners. Most recently, we developed the Advanced Learner Program and founded a new branch of the National Elementary Honor Society.

Communication
Teachers work diligently to build relationships with not only students but also Learning Coaches and families. Teachers use a variety of communication platforms to develop these relationships, such as conference calls, virtual meetings, email communications, and classroom newsletters.
