Expectations

We believe that quality curriculum presented by dedicated parents and cooperative students results in excellent outcomes!

Renaissance staff are available to assist parents and students in areas where there are questions about the curriculum along with support and troubleshooting for managing the learning day.

Families are expected to upload assignments in a timely manner and the expectation is that the work submitted is to the best of a student’s ability.

Renaissance Off Campus (ROC) provides all core curriculum and structure for lessons and assignments.

  • The core curriculum consists of physical materials with little time online required. Math lessons for 3rd-8th grade are provided via video online.
    • Our elective classes have a larger online footprint with more instruction provided online.
  • Families receive access to assignment pacing and extra support material via an online Assignment Tracker.  The parent or guardian serves as the instructor.
  • We are not a faith based program or a secular program. We are neutral in approach and encourage families to supplement according to their viewpoint. 
  • Parent Involvement REQUIRED
    • Assignments are provided in a clear, well-laid-out format.

For 18 weeks each semester, students complete all ROC-provided assignments at home with a parent/guardian.
