How It Works

Middle School

  

Tuition-Free

Because IQLA is part of the public school system, it's tuition-free. Enrolled families receive the Stride K12 curriculum, and eligible families receive a loaner computer and printer.

Who can attend?

The iQ Academy California – Los Angeles (IQLA) middle school program serves students in grades 6–8 who reside in these California counties:

Los Angeles County Kern County Orange County San Bernardino County Ventura County
Los Angeles County Kern County Orange County
San Bernardino County Ventura County  

What is my role as a parent?

In middle school, students become more independent and take on more responsibility and ownership of their work. Parents continue to serve as their child's Learning Coach to support their success. As a Learning Coach, you will

  • Help your child stay on track
  • Monitor completion of lessons and assessments
  • Communicate challenges with your child's teacher as needed

Expectations for Completing Schoolwork

The following expectations are in place for middle schoolers to ensure students are progressing academically:

  • Students must earn a passing grade of 60% or above on assignments.
  • Students must meet the assigned due dates of lessons and assessments.
  • Students must attend live, teacher-led "Class Connect" sessions.
  • Students must complete online lessons and can work on these any time of day.

Attending "Class Connect" sessions and completing coursework according to the assigned pacing schedule will help your student be successful.

In addition to regular classroom instruction, teachers offer support or small group sessions to assist student learning.

Working with Your Teacher

Students work with their teachers and other classmates during "Class Connect" sessions. In "Class Connect" sessions, students

  • Receive live instruction from teachers
  • Interact with classmates
  • Ask questions and receive real-time support

Students can interact with their teachers and classmates by

  • Typing in the chat
  • Speaking over their microphone
  • Typing and drawing with online whiteboard features
  • Joining small group breakouts to work on projects or receive targeted instruction

Time Commitment

Middle school students are expected to spend between 4–7 hours on schoolwork per school day. Most of the school day is spent online, with some opportunities for offline work.

Middle School

  • 4-7 hours daily
  • Most work is online

Email

Email is the primary form of communication between the school and families. Learning Coaches and students are required to check and respond to emails on a daily basis.

State Testing

IQLA students must comply with all California-mandated testing requirements.
