Bright Thinker Curriculum Options
Families may select either parent-led online curriculum or paper-packet curriculum.
Parent-Led Online Curriculum
Students complete coursework asynchronously on the computer. The parent or guardian oversees the student’s work, is added as an observer, and is responsible for grading any work that is not graded by the platform.
Annual access fee: $225 for unlimited Bright Thinker curriculum course access for the entire school year.
Grades 9-12 spring orders: If the annual access fee was purchased in the fall, submit a $0 PO for the student’s spring courses.
Grades 7-8: A spring PO is not required because these courses are established as full-year courses.
Paper-Packet Curriculum
Paper packets provide full-year curriculum that closely matches the online coursework in paper format. The parent or guardian is responsible for grading all assignments.
Grades 3-12: $115 per course, per student, plus applicable tax, shipping, and handling.
Grades K-2: $150 per course, per student, plus applicable tax, shipping, and handling.
Important: Paper packets must be submitted on a separate PO and may not be combined with parent-led online curriculum. Processing and shipping typically take 10-14 days. Grades K-3 require specific administrative approval.
