17) What is HomeLink's Independent Study?
Independent Study allows each student to receive one-on-one work with an Advisor. The student meets with an advisor for one hour each week. They arrange a consistent appointment time to receive lessons, check homework, record grades, and determine assignments for the following week. Weekly grades are kept and a quarterly grade report is issued. Course work can range from Advanced Placement to standard core subjects. Whatever the subject of the independent study is, it will be designed specifically for this student's learning style, pace, and academic ability.
Independent study can be arranged for one course, or, to cover the assignments is multiple courses. There are time constraints with available advisors, but adjustments can be made if more than one hour is needed each week.
