AKTEACH\u2019s intent is to provide diverse educational opportunities: Wherever the student is currently located (home, school, or mobile); Whenever they need access to content (any time of the day); and Whatever the content needs may be (diverse course offerings regardless of the student\u2019s geographic location)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Program Overview<\/h2>\n<p>The purpose of AKTEACH is to provide a cutting-edge, K-12 educational option that allows parents to select from a wide range of traditional homeschool and\/or online academic options. Local homeschool and correspondence students have access to district academic and elective courses and a full range of extracurricular activities.<\/p>\n<p>Parents teach to their children\u2019s individual abilities and learning styles by using curriculum of their choice. Approved curriculum is paid for through an allotment set up for each student to meet his or her educational needs. The non-consumable portions of these materials are required to be returned to AKTEACH when the child is withdrawn from the program.<\/p>\n<p>Local. AKTEACH students have the option of accessing the district\u2019s programs and facilities. Academic, elective courses, and after-school activities are available to AKTEACH students. Team sports, group musical instruction, correspondence courses, and after-school clubs are just a few of the many opportunities available. Additionally, AKTEACH students have the opportunity to participate in homeschool swim, ice skating, STEM, art and other AKTEACH hosted events.\u00a0 See our past newsletters for examples of activities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Program Eligibility<\/h2>\n<p>Enrollment with AKTEACH is open to school age students (ages 5 to 20) who maintain a permanent address within the boundaries of the Kodiak Island Borough School District. Students over the age of 20 may petition the KIBSD school board for admission. Please contact an AKTEACH staff member for more information.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-937","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kibsd.org\/akteach\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kibsd.org\/akteach\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kibsd.org\/akteach\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kibsd.org\/akteach\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kibsd.org\/akteach\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=937"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.kibsd.org\/akteach\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/937\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2484,"href":"https:\/\/www.kibsd.org\/akteach\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/937\/revisions\/2484"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kibsd.org\/akteach\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
