Monday–Thursday
Core Academic Instruction
Students participate in structured live virtual instruction, collaborative learning, independent practice, and career-pathway coursework.
Friday
Everstead Fridays
Friday remains a required instructional day but is intentionally designed differently from the traditional Monday–Thursday schedule.
Everstead Fridays give students time to strengthen what they're learning, receive targeted support, explore their interests, and connect academic learning to their future.
Special Everstead Experiences
Everstead Launch Day
A beginning-of-year experience focused on community, expectations, pathways, and student belonging.
Winter Exhibition
Students showcase academic and pathway projects to families.
Career & Purpose Day
Students connect virtually with professionals, employers, colleges, and community partners.
Everstead Showcase
The year concludes with student presentations, pathway projects, certifications, recognition, and celebration.
