Delayed Lecture Sections

Delayed Lecture Sections allow students unable to attend live class sessions to participate in our classes. This program is especially suited to meet the needs of international students, after school students, and students whose schedules conflict with times listed for live lectures.  
Delayed Lecture Participants:
  • Watch recorded class sessions within 24 hours of the live lecture and then turn in assignments on the same schedule as the rest of the class.
  • Interact with other students via discussion boards.
  • Can work with their instructors outside of class via email and meetings in the instructor’s virtual office.

WTMA’s Live Class Options

While we know some families need the flexibility of delayed options, WTMA’s primary course type is the live online class model, which emphasizes real time interaction and active learning. These sessions allow students to ask questions as they arise to their live teachers, respond to new ideas, and strengthen their understanding through thoughtful discussion. Discover how our live classes support the classical approach to learning.
