The only difference between the two programs is the level of support provided by a student’s teacher and the premium support options.
Both programs offer teacher support, however, Supported Learner+ provides double the support and premium support options.
Asynchronous (self-paced) education: Students can expect to engage in an average of 2 to 3 hours per day to stay on track for graduation.
Synchronous (live) education: Students can expect to be present for 6 to 8 hours like a standard school day.
Since standard courses are self-paced (asynchronous), parents have the ability to create their own daily schedule for their student(s).

If you have either previously or are currently homeschooling, please be certain to compile accurate records for your application (completed later). This is mainly a high school requirement but it is still best practice for all homeschool parents.
Examples of records are excel documents, word documents, journal entries, etc.
There really is no right way to do it, however, if you do not have a record of what class was taken and what grade was earned for each class (in high school), we may not be able to enroll your student since we would not be able to provide you with an accredited diploma.
