Parents Love Beyond the Page

If you live in a state that offers distance learning options through a school district or state-sponsored school, you may have the opportunity to use Beyond the Page through this school — often at little or no cost to you. Distance learning schools are increasing in popularity across the United States, and Beyond the Page is currently being used in over 270 schools. Most of these schools are using Beyond the Page because a parent like you requested it. If your school does not already offer Beyond the Page, it is usually easy to get approved. (Teachers and curriculum directors love Beyond the Page, too.)

Use Beyond the Page through Your Distance Learning School

Beyond the Page is a top choice for families choosing to educate their children through distance learning schools. The reasons are simple. Beyond the Page does the following:

  • Provides a rigorous and engaging academic program,
  • Encourages critical thinking and creativity,
  • Promotes hands-on learning, and
  • Meets state and Common Core standards.

Many educators and families associate Common Core standards with rote drill, conformity, boring worksheets, and teaching to a test. Beyond the Page offers a fresh approach. We cover the standards while also encouraging creativity and critical thinking. You won't find endless worksheets. You will find literature-based activities that engage children in learning.

What Is a Distance Learning School?

Distance learning schools go by many different names:

  • Charter Schools,
  • Alternative Learning Schools,
  • Distance Learning Schools,
  • Distance Education Schools,
  • Correspondence Schools, or
  • Remote Learning Schools.
These schools operate in different states under different rules and laws. As a general rule these schools will help you do the following:
  • Choose a curriculum,
  • Administer testing to your children,
  • Assign a teacher that will help and support your child, and
  • Provide partial or full financial assistance for curriculum and education related lessons.

How Do I Know If Beyond the Page Is Approved at My School?

In most instances, you can just ask your contact teacher or the school administration. If they are not familiar with Beyond the Page, you can usually request it. If you would prefer, you can contact us, and we will contact the school for you. Because of the high standards of our curriculm, becoming an approved curriculum vendor is usually a simple process.
