Funded Approved LAU Math
When you register your student for Funded Approved LAU Math, they can earn math credit using one of the third-party curriculums listed below, and LAU covers the cost of the curriculum.
How It Works
LAU's School LAND Trust (SLT) committee has allotted funds to cover the cost of Mr. D Math and Teaching Textbooks for the 2024-25 school year. Although LAU will cover the cost of one of these math curriculums for your student, you are responsible for assisting them in their studies and providing any needed support.*
Due to the structure of our funding, we will purchase your student’s math curriculum for the entire school year upfront. This means your student should plan to participate in their chosen curriculum for both the fall and winter semesters.
To get started, review the information on this page to determine if one of these curriculums is right for your student. Then, register them for Funded Approved LAU Math in SIS. Further instructions on how to register are included in the FAQs below.
Important: Your student's registration must be complete in SIS and approved by LAU by the first day of the semester. We cannot accept late registrations. Additionally, your student's preferred math curriculum must be selected in Canvas and approved by LAU within 10 days of the semester's start. If this process is not completed and coursework has not begun, they will be transferred to a live Williamsburg math course.
*We do not provide mentors or tutoring for Funded Approved LAU Math, but each curriculum provider has some help available. See below for details.
Course Format, Pacing, & Grades
Funded Approved LAU Math courses are self-paced. Students pace themselves and complete coursework throughout the semester.
Students submit weekly Canvas assignments and report hours spent learning the subject material. To earn credit, all coursework, including progress reports, must be submitted by the end of the semester and satisfy all course requirements.
Grades will be awarded each semester based on scores from the math curriculum (including lessons, quizzes, and tests) combined with scores from Canvas assignments. Canvas assignment submissions account for 10% of the final grade.
