Accredited 9th Grade Language Arts - Semesters 1 & 2

This is a fully online, self-paced Language Arts course designed for 9th grade students. This covers the full-year, including Semester 1 and Semester 2.

Students explore the four core areas outlined by the Common Core State Standards: reading literature, reading nonfiction, writing, and speaking and listening. Reading instruction emphasizes citing textual evidence, identifying main ideas and themes, analyzing characters, interpreting words, and understanding text structures and perspectives. The writing component focuses on argument, informative/explanatory, and narrative genres. Students will also engage in discussions, use digital media, and practice public speaking to present their ideas effectively.

Sparky, our AI tutor, is now available in this course! Sparky provides personalized guidance, answers questions, offers feedback, and supports students in their learning journey.

This is our Accredited Course version, which includes an official transcript and earned credit. This course is designed for independent learning and is not teacher supported or graded. Parents have the ability to grade assignments, view answer keys, and provide feedback to their child.

We also offer this course as an Accredited Course with Mentor Teacher, which adds a dedicated teacher who provides grading, feedback, and ongoing support to guide your student’s success.
