• Welcome to GAPro. In 2019, Global Academic Productions was founded by Michael Grether with the purpose of bringing high quality, secular social studies curriculums to homeschool and charter based students in 6th through 12th grades. My goal is to help families connect with the right learning environment for their family, so the students will have a high quality, engaging learning experience. Since 2019, GAPro has served students in 35 states and 3 countries, and growing! I look forward to working with your family find the right curriculum to meet your student's academic needs.

• Sign In & Go! Using Canvas, students just sign in & go! All lessons are laid out in order and ready. No parent-prep and resource gathering. No complex charts. 

• Options, Options, Options. The beauty of the homeschool community is the flexibility available to each family. GAPro provides content through a variety of formats to allow you to find the instructional method that meets your family's needs:

  • Self-Paced:​ With Self-Paced, parents are in total control. Students can be enrolled at any time of the year. Parents have the power to determine the pace, time spent per week, and method of mastery. This option is parent-graded, with GAPro providing a detailed answer guide. Self-Paced courses are great for the family that needs a curriculum that can adapt to their lifestyle, such as: unschooling at-your-own-pace students, high performing athletes/musicians with unique schedules, students with specific learning needs, families that extensively travel...

  • Flex: Flex courses take the self-paced model and add structured supports for families. Using the same curriculum, Flex courses provide specific start times, plus pacing dates for completing each units assessments. Parents grade the day-to-day work using the answer guide, while students submit their End of Unit assignments for a GAPro teacher to grade.

  • LIVE: LIVE Classes provide families with a high level of support. With LIVE classes, a GAPro teacher leads a cohort of similarly aged students through the curriculum together as a group. Students complete their weekly asynchronous work before participating in their weekly live, interactive video class over Zoom. With LIVE classes, GAPro provides the pacing, the grading of ALL assignments, along with the leading the live session. Most LIVE classes are built around the 16 week semester model. 

  • *Charter Schools or Homeschool Co-Ops. GAPro has been accepted as a Vendor to a growing number of charter schools. GAPro works with your charter school to arrange for the use of the school vouchers to pay for any of the available curriculum options. If GAPro has not yet been approved as a vendor, please contact GAPro 
    ( mgrether@gapro.me ) about your charter and we can begin the process of becoming a Vendor. Many schools require the vendor request to come from the families that attend their school.
    
    If the Charter school or a Co-Op has 10 or more students, a special section of the requested course can be arranged for those students to be able to interact in their own private message boards/zoom calls.

​

• ​Secular Social Studies. All courses promote fact-based, bias free learning. Students are presented with facts and multiple perspectives. Students also learn about tools to draw their own conclusions and support the conclusions with evidence. All GAPro courses are 100% secular. GAPro upholds the evidence as demonstrated by science for evolution, a universe that is billions of years old, and that ALL humans are equal no matter their ethnicity, origin, gender identity or love interests. 
  
  NOTE: The courses do teach about ALL major (and most minor) world religions and political perspectives. However, the courses do not endorse, promote, evangelize, or discriminate for or against any one religion. 

• College-Ready Skills. GAPro focuses on building the academic skills students need to be successful in their college or career.

• Every Region, Every Voice. All courses promote diverse perspectives from around the globe, seeking to avoid a Euro-Centric or American-Centric mindset. They also emphasize the "Lost Voices" of society including: Women, LBGTQ+, First Nations and Ethnic Minorities. 

• Cross Curricular Instruction. Every course contains: Primary & Secondary sources, poetry/literature, art, maps, geography, architecture, videos, activities, & projects.

• Questions? Let Me Help! Michael will gladly assist with any questions or clarifications. If you are unsure of what path is the best for your student, a free consultation can be arranged to put you on the right path.
