Daily Schedule Samples

To make learning flexible for all students, Launch routinely works with families to find the best schedule to meet their child’s individual needs. Examples of schedules can be found below.

Elementary

Launch’s Elementary (K-5) courses operate on a synchronous model so that teachers may best support students. Students are expected to begin working on their courses at 8:00 a.m.
