Global Academy runs 7 days a week, 365 days a year. There are no days off. The researchers are required to communicate with their mentor every day and turn in a minimum of two projects each week. They have access to a teacher 24/7. The researchers also have access to other researchers. Global academy recently opened channels to other researchers in the UK and Australia! The researchers are supplied with awesome computers loaded with tons of neat software and a great digital camera which become theirs when they earn their diploma.
Bash has never attended school before. I expect the transition to be quite smooth because we have always learned in a similar manner, except this will be a little more directed (with the goal being to complete specific proficiencies rather than learning for pure enjoyment) and formal (presenting an essay, speech, poster, powerpoint or any other possible form of communication you can imagine to the mentor rather than an informal conversation with mom).
