Curricula Overview



The Academic Year:

QuantumCampus operates on a quarter system, with each quarter lasting 10 weeks.

10-week courses are offered during the Fall, Winter, and Spring Quarters. They typically meet once each week for a 3-hour session.

Students can select the courses quarter by quarter or they can elect to take sequences of courses that run over the academic year.

Sequenced courses are groups of three classes that are held at the same time and day every quarter.

Each course offered during the academic year will include:
  • optional self-administered pre-assessments with answers*
  • optional self-administered post-assessments with answers*
  • optional self-administered homework packet with answers*
  • email recap of class sent to parents with class homework plus recommended homework from the "homework packet"
  • a student class portfolio that contains all of their classwork
*Optional work is required for students who are seeking A-G fulfillment and/or AP readiness.

Summer Camp Session:

During the Summer Session QuantumCamp only offers week-long academic summer camp programs. Not all of our curriculum is available during this time frame since some of it is not appropriate for a condensed time frame.
