Hive FAQ

What Does H.I.V.E. stand for?

Home-Based

Instructor Facilitated

Virtual

Education


Is H.I.V.E. just a rebrand of the Richland Online Academy?

HIVE was built out of the need that ROA sought to address but it is NOT the same program. HIVE is open to all ages 4K - 12 and has two full-time district facilitators (each a certified teacher with expertise in digital learning) to offer support and guidance to the Home Learning Facilitators (often parents) who are helping kids learn how they learn best.


What is the cost to families?

NONE! HIVE is a free public charter school.


What Curricula Are Approved?

Below are just SOME of the approved curricula:

Acellus Origo Wordly Wise 3000 KiwiCo
Editor in Chief Handwriting without Tears K12 Curriculum Little Passports
Daily 6 WriteShop Learning A-Z Book Shark
Timberdoodle IReady All About Reading Rosetta Stone
WVS Moving Beyond the Page Apex Reading Eggs
ALEKS Math BraveWriter Easy Grammar Denison Algebra
Saxon Math Into Reading First Language Lessons Writing with Ease
Origo Daily Geography Math U See Explore Code
Elemental Science Beyond the Page CTC Math Teaching Textbooks
All About Spelling Pearson Story of the World Mathseeds

If you are currently using a curricula not on this list or would like to submit a curricula for approval please click here

Please keep in mind that as a public charter school H.I.V.E. is not able to purchase or facilitate support of a faith-based curriculum.  Students and families are always welcome to use a faith-based curriculum to support or further develop learning.

 


Are Devices Provided?

Families are welcome to use devices they currently have or the district can provide devices as needed. 


How is Growth Measured?

All students will need to take some assessments throughout the year to benchmark against state and national standards. Personal benchmarking and displays of mastery, as well as attendance, will all be part of an individual learning plan.


How do we Apply?
