GETTING THE LESSONS
Each month, CCV posts new courses with lists of resources needed, assignments, quizzes, and activities for students. All courses align with learning standards for 6th-12th grades. Modules in each course are scaffolded, starting with the basics and developing more complexity as they progress.
Every lesson details the National Core Education Standards and the National Arts Standards it meets but be sure to check with your state education agency for specific standards and requirements in your community). If applicable, lessons also detail National Science Education Standards.
Subscriptions include multi-module courses that are a comprehensive dive into a subject. Presented online, these units are sequential, and can be integrated into your homeschooling schedule as you choose. Subscribers also have access to all CCV resources including blogs, teaching and homeschooling resources, and livestreamed events.
Individual lessons are singular overviews of artists or creative achievements that are iconic. Each lesson is self-contained and includes resources, references, discussion questions, and assignments.
