Online & together
From its inception, our Online Learning Program has focused on community; an unwavering focus on the collective health of our students and school family.
In early 2020, though admittedly ahead of schedule, Journey School embarked on an exciting project of distance learning courses to better serve our traveling/ World Schooling families while remaining focused on community building.
Interactive & Social
Technological advances make remote learning possible… and Journey students are learning to harness those tools!
Through various online platforms and virtual resources, Journey School has taken the interactive benefits of small class sizes to the Internet while maintaining the Gold Standard for Project Based Learning.
With the support of live teacher guidance in real time, Journey students ask questions and use modern resources to create solution-orientated projects.
How It Works
Each school day at the designated hour, students log into their Google Classroom accounts to find everything they need for a successful day!
Journey students are in class with live teacher instruction on average 3-5 hours each day, depending on the grade, and are then responsible for completing coursework independently.
Live & In Real Time
Using online platforms like Zoom, Journey School maintains a normal class schedule. Journey teachers are supported and trained for the Online Learning Program. Check out an example schedule below!
8:20 Community Morning Meeting via Facebook Live for the entire school where students are encouraged to set their daily intentions.
8:30 First class block begins! Students log into their Zoom meetings to start the day. Some grades have 90 minute blocks while others have multiple 60 minute subject blocks.
10:10 Break time!
10:30 Second class block begins! Journey School’s goal for upper elementary and middle school students is to manage their personal schedule and workload independently. Lower elementary teachers take great effort to teach our younger students how to confidently learn online.
12:10 Lunch!
1:00 Third and final class block concludes the day at 2:40 pm. Journey School offers immersive language classes for native and learning Spanish speakers, as well as other interactive electives.

A Note from Our Director
While the team at Journey never anticipated to launch our Distance Learning Program during a global pandemic, we find ourselves in the unique position to serve beyond Journey’s campus… even if temporarily.
If your school has closed in this unprecedented time, we welcome you to join our community of online learners! This is an overwhelming time for educators. We’re here to help. A few spots in every grade are open to be filled for a month, the rest of the school year… or as long as you need! Just reach out and let us know how we can support you.
Journey School’s Online Learning Program welcomes students from other local schools and around the globe. Please email Christa@JourneySchool.com or use our Online Form.
