Elementary School
Who can attend?
The Granite State Academy Online Program (GSAOP) elementary program serves students in grades K–6 who reside in New Hampshire.
What are the costs?
Because GSAOP is part of the public school system, it’s tuition-free.
What is my role as a parent?
As a parent, you (or another responsible adult you choose) serve as your child’s Learning Coach. You’ll work with your child’s teacher to help record student attendance, monitor mastery of online lessons and assessments, and review student work.
Parent/Learning Coach involvement is vital to your child’s success, especially at the elementary level. The typical Learning Coach time commitment in grades K–6 is 4 to 6 hours a day. The initial 4 to 8 weeks can be intensive, as your family settles into a routine. But GSAOP provides a dedicated support system to our families, so you don’t have to do it alone.
Grades K–2
Parent/Learning Coach daily involvement is critical, and approximately 10–15% of this time is online.
Grades 3–6
Students begin to have increased independence, but parent/Learning Coach involvement is essential for about 70–80% of school time, and approximately 15–25% of this time is online.
