  • My student is self-motivated and has a strong desire to learn and maintain focus on their educational goals.
 
  • My student is able to complete work and study without the daily supervision of a teacher.
 
  • My student understands that online classes often take more time than face-to-face courses.
 
  • My student is willing and able to communicate with their teacher(s) for regular, required check-ins and to ask for help if needed.
 
  • My student has the academic readiness and basic reading, writing, math, and computer literacy skills to succeed in online courses.
 
  • Our family has consistent access to high speed internet which is needed for my student to successfully complete their daily lessons.
 
  • Our family has the time in our schedule to devote the six (6) hours per day required to meet North Carolina attendance requirements. 
 
  • Our family can create and follow a schedule which will allow my student to stay on track and catch up if they fall behind.
  • Our family understands that coursework must be completed on time and that noncompletion of work will affect my student’s educational goals and could jeopardize their continued enrollment at NCCA.
