Academic Programs

Titan Youth Programs’ academic classes are developed for children and teenagers, from grade three through high school. Taught by experienced K-12 educators, our courses will help your child excel or catch-up in key academic subjects, including writing and math.

Virtual classes are one-hour long synchronous instructional sessions conducted through a secured Learning Management Classroom. Below you will find course descriptions of all of our academic offerings. Not all programs are being offered each term. You can view program dates and costs under our Fees & Schedule page.

Please note that grades and ages listed are suggestions. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding the class’ suitability for your child.
