About Our Courses

Sound Learning courses meet weekly on Mondays.   Classes occur throughout the day, from 8:15 to 3:00 pm. For more information, see the 2024-25 schedule. Classes meet from September 9th to May 19th.

Our classes seek to find a middle ground between a co-op class, where parents take part in leading and teaching the classes, and a full guided private school experience. The teachers of Sound Learning prepare a full curriculum, lecture in a classroom environment one day a week, and provide guided activities and homework for the student during the remainder of the week. They grade, assess, and communicate with the student about their work. In many senses, it is laid out much like a college classroom.
However, our teachers acknowledge that the parent is still the student’s main teacher, and rely on the parent to guide instruction at home, ensure completion of homework, and work alongside the teacher to ensure the student’s success. For more details, visit course requirements.

Throughout the years, many happy parents and successful students have passed through the classes at Sound Learning. To read what they have to think about their experience, visit our testimonials page.
