Private school, full time
For gifted and 2e learners, grades 3 to 12 and college—
1-to-1 class sessions on a schedule you choose
LIVE ONLINE
Eclipse Academy is a fully accredited private school for students living anywhere in the world. Our students learn 1-to-1 and in small groups, connecting with experienced educators and ability-grouped peers—and also asynchronously. With 100+ online courses to choose from, students can customize an educational experience like no other.
In our mastery-based, self-paced school model, schedule as many or as few class sessions as you prefer, and attend class live over Zoom anytime, from anywhere. Get (optional) wrap-around support with our on-call teachers and tutors, academic coaches, guidance counselors, expert learning specialists, and family therapists.
For our California students, we offer dozens of college-prep and honors courses accredited by WASC and UC Doorways—start anytime year-round, with the right level of structure and teacher support, on a schedule you choose.
Self-paced, mastery-based learning
All courses are guided by our self-paced, mastery-based learning approach, in which we award grades based on a student’s demonstrated mastery of learning goals, rather than on “seat time” requirements or other arbitrary measures.
Each student at Eclipse Academy progresses at their own ideal pace, supported by our team of experienced educators and optional wrap-around support. We meet each student exactly where they are, and together we chart a custom course ahead. Avoid the busywork, and engage in meaningful learning.
An extensive, ever-expanding course catalog
Schools, colleges, and universities worldwide accept our transcripts and high school diplomas, as our WASC and UC Doorways accreditations are gold standards internationally.
Our courses meet University of California’s rigorous admissions requirements for college preparatory and honors “a - g” coursework. Looking for a class we don’t (yet) offer? New accredited and homeschool courses can be developed upon request, just ask!
Tailored just for you
To customize each course for each student, our experienced teachers draw upon a range of instructional strategies and learning resources…
…from inquiry-based activities developed in-house, to numerous third-party resources ranging in purpose and style, like Crash Course videos or AoPS math, to dual-enrollment online college courses via Arizona State University, and elsewhere, for our advanced students.
Communication after every session
Eclipse Academy teachers communicate home after every session, highlighting the session’s focus and activities, as well as any successes, challenges, and homework or independent practice.
We encourage an ongoing correspondence between school and home, so that everyone is on the same page, every step of the way.
Executive functioning & social-emotional learning
Eclipse Academy offers wrap-around services designed especially for our students and their families—from executive-functioning coaching with our learning specialists, to counseling with licensed family therapists.
Among our students we foster a growth mindset, self-awareness, social-emotional vocabulary, non-violent communication, and healthy accountability. With parents, we share strategies for supporting gifted and 2e children and teens, especially on the interplay of giftedness and traits like anxiety, avoidance, perfectionism, ADHD, Autism, and processing and executive function challenges. With a holistic approach to the academic, social, and emotional dimensions of giftedness and twice-exceptionalism, our students thrive.
