Instructional Support
As a private, online school, we provide a personalized online high school experience designed to support each student's learning style, interests, and long-term goals. Instructional support at the high school level is a collaborative partnership between the student's Personalized Education Coach (PEC) and their subject Course Instructors (CIs).
PECs and CIs work together to nurture the whole student in a safe, caring, student-centered environment. On average, faculty members bring 15 years of educational experience, 5 years of service at CMASAS, and 50% hold post-graduate degrees. Every high school student is assigned a dedicated PEC and CI team member that provides one-on-one support with course planning, organization, subject instruction, and graduation preparation. Families value our flexible learning schedule and the ability to personalize courses based on each student's unique learning profile.
Personalized Support from PECs
PECs are experienced advisors and mentors who work one-one-one with each student to develop a Personalized Education Plan (PEP) tailored to their academic goals and learning needs.
PECs help students:
- Set goals and monitor progress
- Develop strong time management and study skills
- Create and follow a four-year academic plan aligned with graduation requirements
- Stay on track with course pacing, deadlines, and overall success
As trusted advocates, PECs play a central role in course personalization, often identifying the need before the student or CI does. They work closely with both students and families to recommend strategies that support the student's strengths and help them overcome challenges.
Weekly one-on-one PEC meetings focus on pacing, planning, and skill building. PECs also host live weekly homerooms where students can connect socially, participate in fun activities, and stay informed through weekly announcements.
INSTRUCTION FROM EXPERIENCED COURSE INSTRUCTORS
CMASAS high school students have a different Course Instructor (CI) for each subject. Theses educators are content-area experts who are passionate about teaching and committed to student success.
CIs support learning by:
- Reinforcing, expanding, and personalizing the asynchronous curriculum
- Providing detailed feedback on assignments
- Meeting one-on-one to address specific questions or clarify concepts
- Offering flexible alternatives and enrichment options when appropriate
Many students work with the same CIs across multiple courses and grade levels, allowing them to build lasting academic relationships. CIs often teach both middle and high school, giving them a broader view of each student's development.
CI meetings are not live lectures -- students are expected to engage with the lesson material beforehand so meeting time is focused on reinforcement, clarification, and deeper understanding.
STUDENT & PARENT ENGAGEMENT - A PATHWAY TO SUCCESS
At CMASAS, we view parents as essential partners in the educational journey. As students progress through high school, the goal is to foster greater independence and personal responsibility. Students are expected to manage their own learning, track their progress, and communicate directly with their PECs and CIs.
However, family support still remains vital. PECs work closely with parents to ensure students stay motivated, organized, and goal-focused. With this shared effort, students are equipped not only to meet graduation requirements, but to build the lifelong skills needed for college, careers, and beyond.
With a flexible, mastery based model and a team of experienced educators, CMASAS high school students receive the personalized instructional support they need to thrive academically, socially, and personally.
