In Lower School, students are assigned a course teacher for every subject, in addition to a homeroom teacher. Each teacher is highly qualified, with specific expertise in the lower grades. The parent or designated learning coach works side-by-side with each student to facilitate his or her progress through the daily lessons, while the teachers stay in close contact with the learning coach and student, meeting regularly in Live Teaching sessions, and communicating through school e-mail, over the phone, and in one-to-one, real-time meetings that take place online.

The Middle School parent or designated learning coach continues to work closely with the student to facilitate progress through the daily lessons. Students are assigned to a content-specific teacher for each course in grades 6-8. Middle School instructors possess deep expertise in their dedicated subjects. They provide feedback and grades on assessments and teacher graded assignments in their subjects to help prepare students on their journey toward High School. Throughout the month, each teacher stays in close contact with the student and the learning coach, communicating regularly by school email, Google Chat, phone, and in one-on-one, real-time meetings that take place online via Live Teaching and Office Hours sessions.

High School courses are taught by subject-specialist teachers. They grade students’ assignments and assessments, and respond to student questions via school e-mail, Google Chat or phone. Live Teaching classes supplement the course content and Office Hours sessions allow students to “drop in” with questions. Teachers will respond to messages, voicemails, and school email within twenty-four hours or one school day. All teacher-graded assignments will be graded, with feedback, within three school days.

iCademy Middle East requires each student to have a designated Learning Coach. The Learning Coach is typically a parent, but could be another adult relative, tutor, or other individual who is the point of contact for the school and who will work directly with the student to help insure their success.
