Aim Academy is an online resource that focuses on aiding homeschool students in their education. They offer over 150 engaging live-online classes for grades 1st-12th taught mostly by homeschooling parents who are qualified in their field. The classes meet over Zoom once or twice a week over either a full year, one semester, or as a 7-week mini course. You can take classes in subjects such as art, English, math, science, geography & culture, history & political science, government, psychology, and foreign language. They also have SAT math and English test prep and AP courses and a few extra-curricular programs.
I have been taking Mme Barstow’s French classes through Aim Academy for the past four years and have loved my experience. We meet once a week over Zoom for an hour and the assignments outside of class are thought-out and engaging. There are plenty of collaborative assignments both in and outside of class, so you get to know your fellow students well and I’ve never felt like I was isolated in the language learning process. I have never had a problem getting in touch with my teacher when there was a problem or had a question.
The other thing I have been involved with through Aim Academy is the French Club. It meets once a month over Zoom for a themed meeting and is open to all French levels, even if you are not in a French class through Aim Academy. It is fully student run, which gives many opportunities for students to hold leadership roles. I am the president of the French Club this year and was vice president for a semester last year. At our monthly meeting, students present information on and participate in activities related to our theme on some aspect of French history, culture, etc. We also hold monthly movie nights where we watch a piece of media in French.
