In-Person & Online Class Options

In-Person and Online Class Options at SchoolSharp+

SchoolSharp+ offers both in-person and live online Saturday enrichment classes. Both formats follow the same academic standards, use the same expert teachers, and support the same long-term enrichment goals.

The choice between in-person and online classes depends on location, schedule, and learning preferences—not instructional quality.

In-Person Saturday Classes

In-person classes are held on Manhattan’s Upper West Side at Union Theological Seminary. These classes offer a focused, college-like learning environment that supports deep academic engagement.

In-person classes provide:

Face-to-face interaction with teachers

Immediate feedback and discussion

Structured classroom routines

Peer learning in a shared space

Online Saturday Classes

Online classes are live, instructor-led sessions conducted via Zoom. These are not recorded videos or self-paced lessons.

Online classes provide:

Students join classes from home while remaining fully engaged.

Academic Consistency Across Formats

Whether in person or online, SchoolSharp+ classes:

Follow the same curriculam
Are taught by the same expert teachers
Maintain small class sizes
Emphasize reasoning and mastery

Format choice does not affect academic rigor or expectations.

Choosing the Right Format for Your Family

Families choose in-person or online classes based on:

Geographic location
Travel time and logistics
Student comfort with online learning

Some families combine formats across different subjects or years.

There is no “better” option—only the right fit for your situation.

Technology and Expectations for Online Classes

Students attending online classes are expected to:

Join from a quiet space

Use a reliable internet connection

Participate actively with camera and audio when appropriate

SchoolSharp+ provides guidance to help families prepare for online participation.

Observing a Class Before Deciding

Families unsure which format is best are encouraged to attend a free trial class. This allows students to experience instruction directly before committing.

Both Formats Support Long-Term Enrichment

Both in-person and online classes are designed for consistency and long-term academic growth. Students benefit most when participation is regular and sustained.
