Virtual homeschool classes and programs
Achievement Heights Academy (AHA) is the pivotal place for private K12 international STEAM education headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. We know children are powerful and we deeply appreciate that you are considering us with the highly esteemed work of your child’s education.

Online learning for primary and secondary students
In our online STEM & online STEAM classes, K12 students learn science, technology, engineering, math, and the arts from the masters using highly effective teaching methods, such as small group instruction, scaffolding, and project-based learning.
Students will use the scientific method and conduct research individually and in international teams to build 21st century skills, such as communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity.
During class, students will observe demonstrations, practice ear training and drills, study note reading and music theory, perform related works, and may also participate in Voice & Performing Arts and recitals.
During class, online k12 students will observe teacher demonstrations; engage in ear training exercises and practice drills; learn note reading; and music theory. Moreover, student will play various works related to each lesson.
During your Zoom violin lessons, you will learn how to properly hold the violin and the bow. You will also learn how to read music and play some songs, and you may perform in a virtual recital.
Our k12 homeschool students will build a solid foundation in classical vocal technique and acquire a strong understanding of the techniques and styles related to contemporary, popular, Rock ‘n Roll, Rhythm & Blues, jazz, classical and Broadway genres.
Acting classes allow students to use their imagination to ground themselves in character, expand their senses, and dig deep into the circumstances that the character is currently experiencing.
Students learn the primary colors and how to mix them appropriately to create a myriad of other colors on the color wheel. Students will understand what colors are used to create distance, shadowing and perspective.
Students will learn to use the space to dig deep into the circumstances that the character is currently experiencing. Each class will offer acting games and exercises to build spontaneity, “reacting vs acting”, improvisation, body awareness and vocal versatility.
Students will learn to build their work from the inside out by asking the Who, What, When, Where, Why and How of a character. Further, our online private school students learn to seek out the truest expression and life of their character.
Students build a strong foundation in how music works by exploring rhythm, melody, harmony, and notation through k12 online classes with a focus on reading, writing, and performing. Each class encourages both technical understanding and creative expression.
Students build upon Cohen and Adler acting techniques to ground themselves in character, expand their senses while using their space, and dig deeper into the circumstances that the character is currently experiencing.
Lessons are designed to give each online academy student the opportunity to break down character, transport himself or herself into the understanding and circumstances of the character, and deliver a strong, performance-ready monologue.

How does a k12 online private school work?
AHA has a caring and encouraging ethos. Moreover, we use a whole child support system approach. In order to achieve this, we consistently uphold faculty and staff as key stakeholders. We provide them with the tools they need to effectively teach the whole child and care for their responsibilities.
Another important way we demonstrate a whole child support system approach is that we recognize the value of our parents and warmly welcome them as partners in their child’s education. We hope our parents will consider volunteering at AHA.
In addition, our goal is to help each student excel as opposed to just being proficient. Hence, when it comes to core content subjects such as reading, writing, math, and science, we strive to provide students the support they need to be happy and successful students. This means that we readily give students assistance and multiple opportunities to demonstrate learning. We are data wise. So we use data analysis to target students’ needs and identify their strengths. In this way, we help students achieve their potential and excel as they demonstrate learning.
