How programs work

  • Live and instructor-led

    Every class is taught live online by an LETC instructor.

  • Private, small groups or full classes

    Choose the format that suits the student, family or school.

  • Placed at the right level

    We look at the student's grade, goals and readiness to recommend the right program. A short, free assessment may be suggested if it would help.

  • Progress you can see

    Short progress reports, mid-program and at the end, show what students have learned and what to work on next.
