Teachers
Trust the Expertise of Indiana’s Best Teachers
Our teachers are among the best in the state. They consider themselves your partners in your children’s education and are available to help you and your children through any challenges you may face. Our teachers are passionate about education and are flexible to meet the needs of Hoosier Academies families. Every family and student are important and deserve the best!
Partner with Teachers Who Share Your Passion for Education
Parents and teachers share the teaching load of the K12 lessons—the teachers work with children in the learning centers, while parents (or their designated Learning Coaches) guide children's learning in the off-site portion of their week. Teachers also provide support to parents in the difficult concepts children struggle with, like fractions, and provide feedback based on the time they spend in the Learning Center with your child.
Expect Your Teacher to Offer Consistent Support
You can be sure that support from your teacher is there whenever you need it. In fact, you and your child can expect to interact with your teacher on a regular basis during:
- Weekly scheduled classroom instruction that makes up more than half of your child’s instructional time
- Regular progress checks
- Parent/teacher workshops
- Teacher-guided outings
Contact a Teacher Any Time
