Online Middle School for young Athletes.

Online Learning Platform 

The work that a student does on the platform is of essential importance because the platform measures their progress. Their entire learning material accompanied by assessments is stored on the platform. Therefore, a student can access it anytime they want, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is an excellent opportunity for children who play sports because they don’t have to miss school or be late for a class because of training sessions. Now they can postpone school for later.  

Each student has a personal profile on the platform and assigned material for the particular grade. The platform measures their progress as they go through the material and do the assignments. Teachers turn that progress into a grade. Another advantage of online learning is multimedia elements that keep students’ attention and make lessons more entertaining. In other words, courses are enriched with photos, graphics, explanatory videos, and they also have a dictionary, a translator, and other features that can significantly help them learn.

Live Online Classes 

SWS offers two types of online classes – group and individual. Group classes are organized in the morning and afternoon shifts and have predetermined timetables. And we also offer individual classes where a student works with a private tutor. These individual classes have proven to be the best practice for young athletes. 

Our school provides online classes only for core subjects, and we are talking about live interaction with a tutor that is done in real-life. We do not use pre-recorded videos and play them for students. The dynamic of online classes in SWS is entirely different from classes in traditional schools. Our teachers always try to engage students and involve them in the conversation, rather than just letting them be passive listeners. 

Middle School Curriculum

The online program for middle school grades is designed to help students expand their knowledge in core subjects and explore their interests and affinities through electives. We use an accredited American curriculum that consists of four core subjects and several electives, but a student can pick two which they like the best.

Frequently asked questions:

What Age Are Kids in Middle School?

The US educational system defines grades 6 to 8 as middle school. Therefore, kids who have 11 and 12 years can be enrolled in Grade 6, while kids who are 13 and 14 are eligible for Grade 7. That leaves kids at the age of 15 and 16 to be eligible for Grade 8. If you come from a country with a slightly different age-grade system, we can find common ground and place the child in an adequate grade.

My child does not speak English perfectly. Is that a problem?

We don’t expect kids to be fluent in English in elementary school, but they mustn’t be absolute beginners. The entire program is in the English language, and the platform has a translator tool, so that can significantly help them. But if a child does not speak a word of English, that might be a bit problematic.

Are online classes pre-recorded?

Online Classes at Sport World School are live, not pre-recorded. It means that every class is done in real-life with a teacher present in the session. A student can ask a teacher anything during class. They are not just passive listeners. Sport World School offers group and individual online classes.

Do You Accept International Students?

Sport World School accepts international students. Although we are an American school, our program is entirely delivered online. That allows us to enroll students from any part of the world, regardless of their location. International students can study under the same conditions as US (national) students, and they receive the same documents.

Does My Child Have To Do Online School Every Day?

A student does not have to “attend” online school every day. We offer many possibilities that allow students to adapt the school to their other obligations. They have 24/7 access to our online learning platform to study whenever they want, and students learn at their own tempo. Yet, this doesn’t mean that they don’t have to learn.

What Happens With School When I Have a Tournament?

If you have a tournament, a game, or simply a sports camp and you have to be absent from school, you just need to notify your assigned tutor. They will pause your program on the platform, which means you won’t be getting any new assignments. Once you return, you can return where you have left off, and more importantly, you won’t be overburdened with the learning material.

When Can I Enroll?

Sport World School has open enrollments throughout the entire year. That allows our students to enroll anytime during the year. Regardless of when you start your schooling with us, you will get the official ten months to complete the grade. Since you are a young athlete, and we are aware of your many sports obligations, your grade can be extended.
