    How do I pick Curriculum?

    For the One-on-One Program only:

  • The Learning tab links to the curricula options available for review.
  • You are not required to choose core curriculum during enrollment.
  • Once your enrollment is approved, you will be assigned a teacher who will contact you to set up an initial meeting.
  • From there, you will work with the teacher to create an Individual Learning Plan (ILP).
  • The ILP is completed for your student during your initial visit with your teacher. Teachers will identify learning styles, set a schedule for face-to-face meetings, order a curriculum and/or devices needed, and set goals for both long-term and the school year.
  • Once the ILP is done, you will begin making curriculum selections in the Learning Fund form with the assistance of your teacher.
  • What is the Learning Fund?

    The Learning Fund is $1,000 for students enrolled in the Epic One-on-One Program. These funds may only be used to purchase/lease materials related to the student’s education. For access to the Learning Fund, students must be enrolled by Oct. 1 of the school year.

    Does the cost of the curriculum come out of the Learning Fund?

    Does the cost of leasing an Epic laptop come out of the Learning Fund?

    Do unused funds roll over to the next year?

    How much does curriculum cost?

  • Once you are enrolled for the new school year, you will receive a confirmation email that links you to the ordering form.
  • All prices are listed on the ordering form you received via email.
  • The subject line of the email you have been sent is: Application and Transfer to Epic has been approved for (your child’s name).
  • If you have been approved, you should have this email.
  • What can the Learning Fund be used to purchase?

    After the price of core curriculum choice is deducted, leftover funds can be used for supplemental curriculum, laptop lease, and extracurricular activities.

    When can I access the Learning Fund?

    Access to Learning Funds (outside of purchasing core and supplemental curriculum for the coming school year) begins the first day of school and ends in March the following year. However, families may place orders through May for activities taking place over the summer. Class invoices that span over the summer need to be submitted by May 31. These invoices would cover June/July/August classes.

    When I buy something with the Learning Fund, is it mine to keep?

  • No. All items purchased with the Learning Fund are the property of Epic.
  • All items must be returned to Epic once the student exits the Epic One-on-One Program.
  • For obvious reasons, though, music lessons, dance lessons and such cannot be returned.
  • What is the process for accessing the Learning Fund?

  • Managing your Learning Fund will be done through PowerSchool (your parent portal).
  • Click here to see how the Parent Portal works.
  • Once an order is made, Epic will purchase the product or service for the student/family using the funds allocated for the Learning Fund account.
  • What is the difference between a product and a service?

  • A product is a learning tool such as a book, iPad, chemistry set, software…
