We do not offer an after-school program at this time; however, tutoring is available to students.

Ellemercito Academy is not standards-centered, but student-centered. However, we do test in order to determine the efficacy of the instruction and learning taking place. As the learning continues, students will be assessed on their progress through formative and summative assessments with individualized learning goals. Any Assignment/test below a 69% requires a parent signature. The goal is for students to achieve mastery before moving on to the next higher-level concept. We believe our students are more than a quantified measurement, therefore letter grades are not the only means used to assess progress. Rather, students are also assessed through discussion, projects, daily work, and useful progress monitoring techniques.

Our goal is to make microschooling accessible and equitable for all students. Scholarships are limited at this time; however, a sliding scale option is available and income-based. Please email info@ellemercito.academy to learn more.

Twice a month and parents are welcome to attend if there is availability.
