Adventure Learning Labs FAQ

Only grades K-4 will have full audio incorporated into the modules. Grades 5-8 will have some audio, but students will do the bulk of the reading on their own.

All of these samples are an entire week’s worth of work in each subject.

All rubrics and modules will be made available at the start of the school year.

Students may login and work in the Learning Labs on a schedule that best suits their needs, making sure to complete the assessment, portfolio, or LIVE class due for that week.

Adventure Learning Labs provides a complete, standards-aligned curriculum that meets all state requirements. Families use these Labs in different ways depending on their learning approach at home. Some families complete all instructional components within the Learning Labs for a full, self-contained experience, while others choose to pair the one-hour live classes with additional home-based instruction, such as Adventure Learning Labs activities or outside resources like Saxon Math or The Good and the Beautiful.

We want families to understand that the one-hour live class per subject each week is just one piece of the full learning experience. Students will get the most out of their education when they engage in the instructional and practice components within the Adventure Learning Labs, or other learning resources like those mentioned above, alongside their live classes. This combination strengthens learning retention and helps students come to the LIVE Classes more prepared, confident, and engaged.

When used as instructed, this is a comprehensive and complete curriculum and needs no supplementation.

Each “part” is intended to be a complete workload for one day in that specific subject. During short weeks, families should choose the pieces of the module they feel are most important for their child to complete.

All Learning Labs are built as tools for your child to learn new material. If a piece of the module is repetitive or they have already mastered the material, you may skip that piece or choose to complete the assessment and move on.

The portfolio option, which can be found on the Assessment Checklist, gives students an alternate way to show mastery of the standard. They may complete the instructional portion of the Learning Lab Modules and then choose to either take the module assessment or submit a portfolio project. Students may also choose to bypass the instructional portion entirely and instead demonstrate proficiency through a portfolio-style submission aligned to the provided rubric. This option offers flexibility while still ensuring students meet the required learning outcomes.

Rubrics for the portfolio assignments are currently listed at the end of every module under Portfolio Submissions. A complete list of stand-alone rubrics for assignments can be found on the Learning Labs Parent Overview on Basecamp.
