Educational Facilitator

Each student has a dedictated Educational Facilitator (EF). EFs are certified teachers who take care of the "big picture" for each student by serving as a guide, advocate, and primary point of contact. Students can choose to keep the same educational facilitator year after year. A student's educational facilitator will oversee the student's progress, make sure certain requirements are met, and help tailor the program to meet the student's learning styles, personal interests, and goals.

Parent Involvement

CMA's elementary program is a team effort that includes parental involvement. The younger the student, the more involved the parent will need to be; as students advance in their technology skills and ability to work independently with EF guidance, the parent is able to step back more if he or she so chooses. However, parents are always encouraged to take an active role in their children's program, and CMA makes great effort to establish communication and means for parents to remain aware and active all the way to graduation day.

Blended Model

While even the youngest students engage in online learning experiences, most elementary students also have offline learning experiences. Young students need to develop fine motor skills, so crafts and learning activities involving scissor-use, coloring, pasting, and other hands-on activities are incorporated into lessons. Also, younger students need to develop handwriting skills. Parents and EFs work together to ensure that each student has a developmentally-appropriate program.

Elementary students are encouraged to engage in PE on a continuous basis, and reading should be regularly assigned even if it is across the curriculum. However, they might not focus on social studies, for example, every learning period. When they do focus on social studies, they are allowed to dive into the subject matter for extended periods of time, resulting in depth as well as breadth.
