Academic Overview

Overview

For more than 10 years, thousands of Bend-La Pine Schools’ K-12 students have benefited from our free, personalized, online learning program, Bend-La Pine Schools Online.

Our program uses the K12 curriculum at the Kindergarten through 5th grade level. This curriculum is a balance of online lessons and hands-on activities. In general, our youngest learners spend about 40% of their time online. The rest of their time is spent engaging with text and working with resources and manipulatives. Parents are more involved with their child's learning at these younger levels as they guide and coach their child through their daily tasks.

At the middle and high school level students also use the K12 curriculum. Online classes at the middle and high school level are not necessarily tied to our standard trimester or semester schedule. What this means is that when a student finishes a class, even if it is before the end of the semester, they can grade out and begin another course. Middle and high school students can be expected to spend 70 - 80% of their time online. The remainder of their time is spent reading, writing and preparing other assignments for their online teacher.

Bend-La Pine Schools Online uses a combination of our own local teachers, and teachers contracted through our curriculum vendors. This allows us to provide many course offerings, while making sure that our most popular courses are taught by dedicated, local teachers. We strive to provide personalized, connected opportunities that meet the needs of individual students and families.
