How It Works

Flexible, Foundational, and Family-Friendly Learning

At Liberty Heights Academy, we’ve designed our program to be clear, accessible, and adaptable to the needs of each individual student and family. Whether you choose to lead your student’s learning directly or partner with one of our credentialed teachers, our courses are built to provide a solid foundation in American history and civics—without the red tape or rigid scheduling of traditional schools.

📚 Typical Course Map

Our curriculum is structured to follow a logical, comprehensive progression through American history and government:

  • U.S. History 1 – Early Colonization through The Great Depression

  • U.S. History 2 – WWII through the Modern Era

  • Civics – The Constitution, political parties, branches of government, rights and responsibilities of citizens

Students can enroll in these courses individually or follow the recommended sequence.

🕒 Pacing Guide

Our courses are designed to fit real life:

  • 12-Week Suggested Timeline
    Plan for about 1 hour per day, Monday through Friday, to stay on track with our recommended 12-week pacing.

  • Fully Self-Paced
    Life happens. Whether you want to finish faster or take your time, you’re in control of your schedule. There are no hard deadlines unless required by your local homeschool compliance regulations.

📦 Required Materials

To complete our courses, students will need:

  • High-speed internet access

🧑🏫 Course Options

Parent Moderated Courses

Parents (or another approved adult) are provided with everything they need to:

  • Review and grade student work

  • Provide meaningful feedback

  • Oversee quizzes, exams, and pacing

This option offers maximum flexibility and keeps the parent in full control of the learning experience.

Students and families who choose the Teacher Moderated option will be supported by a credentialed teacher who will:

  • Grade and return assignments within 5 business days

  • Provide written feedback on all work

  • Proctor exams via Zoom
