You can consult with the teacher via student email, access live classes and activities conducted by LGS. Additionally, you will have access to our Student Services, which will be available to assist with platform use and navigation, as well as to answer any general questions you may have.

Yes, our students have the freedom to choose the language in which they want to take the subjects/credits necessary to complete their curriculum. They have the option to select which subjects/credits they prefer to take in Spanish and which ones in English. To make this change, it is necessary to have completed the subject/credit they are currently taking. They must inform student services of the language in which they want to take the next subject/credit.

It is important to note that, for the elementary program, subjects are exclusively taught in English. This is done with the intention that, from an early age, children adapt to and become familiar with the language.

It is crucial to note that any plan changes must be communicated to the payment department at least three days before the corresponding payment date.

No. For student admission, we consider the last grade successfully completed. It’s important to note that if a student hasn’t completed a certain school level yet, they must ensure to pass it before applying for admission; otherwise, they will need to complete it in our school.

School

Yes, our flexible online learning experience allows students to study at any time or place and complete work as their schedule permits. Because students don’t have the stress of deadlines, they can spend more time on lessons that are more challenging and less time on lessons in which they excel.

There is no requirement to pursue a full diploma program. We offer over 30 individual high school courses for a single purchase. Our summer school students, in particular, find this option appealing for credit recovery. However, many students choose to enroll in single purchase courses for a variety of reasons:

  • To get ahead in their studies.
  • To take courses not available in their regular school curriculum.
  • To challenge themselves with an honors or double-credit course.
  • To make up for missed classes.
  • To gain experience with online learning

There is no set time; the idea is for the student to progress at their own pace. It’s the student who decides how much time they want to dedicate to studying.

It is not necessary to have a foundation in English; the idea is for the student to gradually adapt to the language. However, we also offer an English course called LATAM Bilingual Institute, which students from our school can access at a low cost.

Each school grade consists of six subjects/credits, with an average duration of approximately one to one and a half months per subject/credit, adapting to the individual study pace of each student. Students are advised to dedicate at least one month to each subject, as the priority is for them not to feel pressured to complete a subject quickly, but to have the necessary time to acquire knowledge effectively.

It is not possible to establish or suggest a specific amount of hours that you should dedicate to studying since each student has their own learning style and unique pace of study. As you engage with the subjects/credits you are taking, you will be able to accurately determine the number of hours you need to dedicate each day to successfully complete each subject/credit.

No. All study materials are available on the platform; however, students have the option to use a notebook for taking notes during tutorials or to remember certain topics. Additionally, they can refer to other books if they prefer. Our students have the flexibility to study in the way that works best for them.

It’s important to note that we are an American school and follow the standards of the Florida Department of Education. In accordance with these regulations, this specific number of subjects/credits is required to successfully complete each grade level.

It depends on the chosen plan. If you choose to purchase a per-subject/credit plan, you can activate the subjects/credits you want at the same time. However, if you choose a monthly plan, subjects/credits will be activated sequentially as the student completes the previous one.

Academic Support

LATAM Global School provides an excellent team of academic advisors who work with students on an individual basis in all subjects. Tutoring assistance is available from Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST.

You can also communicate with your assigned Student Counselor who will support your entire process in our institution.

You must successfully complete a minimum of twenty-four (24) credits to be eligible to earn your diploma from our school.

You can request a copy of your LATAM Global School transcript via the Admissions department’s email.

We adhere to the Hague Agreement, so we send the documentation duly notarized and apostilled to enable our students to carry out the validation of their documents, either at the Ministry of Education or the Department of Foreign Affairs. That being said, our documentation is valid for any country in agreement with The Hague. However, we recommend checking the legislation of the country you are in because it may vary.
