Onsite Partners In Education (PIE)

Overview: This program is reserved for students who are Enrolled Status with RCOA.

Description: Partners in Education (PIE) is a teacher-directed program that fully covers the BC Learning Standards for Science, Social Studies, Language Arts, and ADST through interactive and project-based activities taught from a Christian worldview. PIE includes 29, 5.5 hour onsite class days throughout the year. Classes are multigrade and cover a range of cross-curricular themes. Parents partner with the teacher by supporting children in completing the assigned project and practice work during the week. While PIE and Community Clubs intentionally plan different and complementary content coverage each year, those enrolled in both programs may have some overlap of topics. In that case, students will be challenged to go deeper in those content areas or explore other areas of interest through project work as directed by the PIE teacher.
