The Griffin Bay primary program encompasses grades K-3. Students in kindergarten will receive a student learning plan that equals a half day of school and grades 1-3 will receive a learning plan that equals a full day of school. For kindergarten that means 13.75 hours per week of instruction and for 1st and 2nd grade students that would be 27.5 hours a week of instruction. While we don’t require that you log the hours of learning, you will be required to communicate your learnings to your certificated teacher on at least a weekly basis.

The learning environment can be either fully remote in your own home or learning space, or hybrid program that includes mostly remote learning and weekly scheduled direct personal contact.
