Live Online Algebra 1 Class for Homeschool Students

This online grade 9 Academic Algebra 1 class is for homeschool students who learn best with live, teacher-led math instruction, patient support, and a confidence-building pace. Students gain a strong foundation for algebraic reasoning starting with Number Sense, including Real Numbers, Absolute Numbers, Positive and Negative Integers, Fractions, Decimals, Order of Operations, and Scientific Notation. Then students write algebraic formulas and solve multi-step linear, inequality, and quadratic equations with a teacher who explains algebra clearly and welcomes questions. Students analyze linear relationships using tables, graphs, and equations and learn trigonometry, functions, and parabolas. Students grow in their mathematical reasoning and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems.

This course meets the requirements for the Ontario Course MPM1D Principles of Mathematics, Grade 9 Academic Algebra 1 and the American Algebra 1 Course. The current math required for Ontario students in grade 9 is MTH1W, a destreamed math. MTH1W replaced MPM1D as of September 2021. Online High School Classes believe strongly in preparing homeschool students for university-level preparation; therefore, course content meets academic standards and covers more than what is taught in de-streamed math classes.

All Algebra 1 class instruction is online and live, teacher-led with personalized support. Your homeschool student gets their questions answered right away. No pre-recorded videos, no confusion piling up, and no parent prep required. Guaranteed timely grading and feedback on how your student is doing. The textbook is included in the course price and shipped to you at no additional cost. Upon completion, Online High School Classes offers a written transcript including a final grade, full course description, and a letter of recommendation.

What Students and Parents are saying about Online High School Classes

“Before Algebra with Kimberly, I really struggled to understand math concepts. After a few lessons, I understood it so much and actually started to enjoy math!” – Victoria


“I learned that buying a Bugatti is a lot harder than I thought, especially if I lease it. The interest I’d pay on the lease is insane.” – Jonathan

“Prior to Math for Work and Everyday Life, I never realized just how much my parents pay. I feel better equipped for adulthood.” – Charis

“I didn’t realize how expensive life really is and how important budgeting is. You can’t just go buy whatever you want all the time.” – Victoria

Online High School Classes are interactive, live high school classes with personalized support by professional educators. Lessons and discussions are engaging and offer hands-on activities, problem-solving, and real-life application. Our classes are not pre-recorded videos and are not self-paced.

All instruction, grading, and support are handled by professional educators – no parent prep is required.


Our classes are designed to complement traditional school and homeschool learning.

Textbooks and shipping costs are included in the course price. Course prices are listed in Canadian Dollars. Full payment for a course is required to register and reserve your student’s spot in the course. 

All live, online classes are held on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays for 40 minutes. Additional homework is assigned on an as-needed basis if the class needs extra practice to solidify the lesson content. Teachers recommend homework be completed right after class to reinforce the learning. Homework shouldn’t take longer than fifteen minutes to complete. Additional practice problems are available in the textbook and online portal in preparation for a quiz or test.


Completed homework, quizzes, and tests are to be scanned and submitted to the teacher through the learning portal. All grading is handled by the teacher. No parent marking is required. Please see below the FAQ regarding the technology required for the class.

Class size remains small (twenty students or under) to offer individualized instruction and provide plenty of time to ask questions. Classes are taught in English.

Regular attendance is expected for success and counts toward the final grade. Classes are recorded in case a student misses or wants to replay the instruction.

We believe every student is capable of success. We genuinely care about supporting each child to the fullest. We invite you to contact us through our Contact page so together we can determine whether our online high school classes are right for your child.

The following technology is required for all Online High School Classes: a laptop or IPAD, internet connection, a printer, Zoom with camera on for student accountability, a headset with microphone, a scanner or a picture to PDF app such as Adobe Scan.

Upon completion of each course, Online High School Classes offers a written transcript including a final grade, full course description, and a letter of recommendation.

Online High School Classes require students to write a final exam at the end of the course. This exam must be written pen-to-paper while in the continuous presence of an approved proctor.


Who can proctor?
A proctor is any professional adult, outside of the student’s parent or legal guardian, who is willing to sit with the student to administer and supervise the writing of the final exam, ensuring that all exam procedures are properly followed. The date, time, location, and proctor are all selected by the student. Proctors must have access to a printer and scanner, and must not be related to the student.


How are exams scheduled?
Students submit their proctor’s details, including their professional email address and phone number to their teacher. Once approved, the student and proctor can mutually agree on the best date, time, and location of the exam. Then Proctors receive an email copy of the exam and policy form prior to the scheduled time. The approved Proctor and student may then proceed with the final exam as scheduled. Once the final exam is written, the proctor sends the exam back to the teacher as a scanned, clearly legible PDF document. If a student chooses a proctor who charges a fee for their services, Online High School Classes is not responsible for that fee.
