Our Learning Models
At Centric Learning Academy, students can choose between two instructional models, both aligned with our core approach to education: project-based learning and competency-based assessment.
Discover our models below and choose the one that best suits your needs:
Our synchronous learning model offers students real-time interactions with our team of certified teachers who are experts in online learning modalities. These interactions take place through online classes using video conferencing technology.
In synchronous learning, learners and teachers are present and engaged in our project-based learning curriculum at the same time. Teachers provide mini-lessons, explicit instruction, and guidance designed to support students as they solve the real-world problems presented in our project-based learning curriculum.
Our synchronous model allows for immediate feedback and interaction between learners and teachers, as well as the opportunity for group discussions and live collaborations. Our synchronous learning model can be beneficial for learners who prefer a structured environment and thrive on social interactions.
Enrollment is semester-based.
Our asynchronous learning model allows learners to complete their learning plan at their own pace and on their own schedule. Asynchronous learning is also built on the foundation of our award-winning, self-paced project based learning curriculum. Learners access the learning materials and complete the assignments at a time and place that is convenient for them.
In this model, our team of teachers evaluates the work students complete and provides individualized feedback so students can progress through their learning plan at the pace that works best for them.
Collaboration is a critical component of project-based learning and is present in our asynchronous model as well as learners engage in group discussions, project presentations, and other sharing modalities. Our asynchronous learning model is the perfect fit for students who desire the highest level of learning flexibility.

Elementary School
Education should be designed how we were born to learn. Nurture your child's intuitive drive to learn and explore with an education built around inquiry and discovery. Watch as your child discovers new interests, develops new talents, and finds new passions through engaging projects and personalized instruction.
Learning really comes alive when it happens in a social setting. Our classes prioritize interaction and collaboration, with qualified teachers who know how to make learning fun and engaging. At Centric Learning Academy, your child will be laughing and learning with their classmates, making new friends, working and collaborating as a team.
Middle School
Middle School is a time of increased independence, when students begin cultivating their own skills and interests. At Centric Learning Academy, our middle school program instills confidence, encourages students to ask questions, dive deeper into their interests, and provides study skills for our students to begin charting their own academic path.
Our accredited private-school program provides families with the flexibility to fit school around their individual schedules while offering over a thousand engaging projects across a wide selection of core courses and electives, helping students discover personal passions and career pathways that will shape their future.
High School
Set your student’s sights on college with a high school curriculum that motivates students to think critically, cultivate exceptional study habits, enhances critical thinking skills, and focuses attention on college and career pathways that can help students achieve their personal and professional goals.
Centric Learning Academy offers a highly personalized hybrid model for our students, combining live classes in core subjects with elective courses that can be completed at their own pace and on their schedule. Academic mentors work closely to guide students toward college admission and career readiness.
Student Records Request
For students entering the high school program, official transcripts must be received in order to transfer credits to the Centric Learning Academy transcript. A records request will also be sent to the student’s previous schools, in order to confirm admission details. Transcript and contact information for previous school(s) will be collected as part of the enrollment process.

Our projects are built around topics that students love, including music, nature, architecture, outer space, animals, robotics, super heroes, movies, and art. Each project is also fully customizable, allowing teachers to adapt learning content to your child's interests.
Student Showcase
We like to share what our students are doing, so we have gathered a collection of projects to show you the process of how each student excels and exceeds in their work based upon our project-based learning work model.
Education on Your Schedule
Our online academy offers engaging classes in core subject areas, to cultivate the interaction and collaboration that really brings learning to life, and building students interpersonal and communication skills critical for their future.
As part of our educational model, we eliminate deadlines and exams, and instead allow our students 24/7 access to our entire curriculum to work at their own pace, in the comfort of their own space. This provides students the flexibility to pursue other interests outside of school, such as work, hobbies, or family responsibilities, without sacrificing their education.
Learning to Fit Your Lifestyle
The learning experience, both in live classes and through asynchronous learning plans, is tailored to the individual student. Teachers and academic mentors, identify and amplify student strengths and shore up gaps in learning, with an emphasis on preparing students for scholarship at the college level.
Competency-based assessment means that grades are awarded based solely on the quality of student submissions, and our model emphasizes critical thinking, time management, self-directed inquiry, and independent scholarship.

Our easy to navigate and customizable dashboard includes everything students, teachers, and administrators need to guarantee success for students including customizable progress reports.
