Academics
At Trivium, we believe in using as many methods as needed to facilitate a positive learning environment for each student and family.
ace days
ACE days are our on-campus learning days at Trivium.
Your student has the option to attend two on-campus days that meet from 9:00-3:15, either Tuesday & Thursday or Wednesday & Friday, if they are in Kindergarten through 12th grade. Our TK program is online only. The Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, and Atascadero centers, on-campus days are Tuesdays and Thursdays. At the Arroyo Grande or Lompoc centers, your two on-campus days are Wednesdays and Fridays.
When your student is on campus, they interact with other students and Trivium staff members while they are learning from highly engaging lessons. When your students are not on-campus, they complete their lessons independently at home with parent support as needed. We also provide study hall options for all students and Lunch & Learns for K-5th grades.
connect
Connect is an exciting opportunity for your kids to have a classroom learning experience in your own home.
Trivium offers live synchronous class as an option for students’ independent study days. These are classes held on Google Meet with students from all of our centers. This includes 4th-High School math options, 4th-8th grade English Language Arts options, virtual versions of TK-12th grade ACE day classes; and virtual honors seminars for Junior High and High School Honors classes. You can mix and match Connect classes with our other curriculum options.
You may be looking for the customization and flexibility that personalized learning brings for your student, which is why we provide study halls for all Connect students.
