Class Format
Classes run asynchronously, so there is no specific time each week when you must attend online. Plan to spend at least 3-5 hours each week the class is in session. Coursework and assignments for each unit open Monday morning; please complete this work by the following Sunday evening. Grace periods are given, but interaction proves more effective when the entire class works on the same topic. Connect and collaborate with colleagues in a variety of interactive media, including short videos and discussion boards.
Faculty
Kim Hudson, associate head of upper school and director of the Center for the Study of Boys at St. Christopher’s School (United States), shares her expertise and guides you throughout the class.
