What makes Hyperion Academics different from other educational platforms?
Our site is fun and interesting! Hyperion Academics employs cognitive learning strategies, gamification and an emphasis on pivotal educational basics to nurture, engage and motivate students who are discouraged in their learning journeys. But our site doesn't just help students! Parents and teachers will find our site extremely helpful when having to submit documentation and any state required paperwork. Our lessons are self-graded and we also provide a checklist of standards that the student has completed for any given learning period. No more forms to fill out - the program does it automatically and all you have to do is put in the dates and download.
My child is on the autism spectrum. Does your site cater to students who are neurodiverse?
Yes! Since its inception, Hyperion Academics was developed to be inclusive and accessible for students of all learning abilities. Students who are mid to higher functioning on the autism spectrum do quite well on our site.
I notice that your site uses different fonts, large type and colorful words. Why do you do that?
We use different fonts, large type and colorful words as a way of incorporating cognitive learning strategies into our educational platform. Studies have shown that just increasing the font size of any learning material increases comprehension, retention and test-taking outcomes by 10-15%. Not only that, but it doesn't matter how old the student is, their educational background or the subject matter being studied.
Can I use any device to use your website?
Yes, you can use any device. Our site works best with tablets, laptops and desktop computers. The best browsers to use for the optimal experience are Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari and Microsoft Edge for laptops and desktops. For tablets, the browsers on all iPads and the Silk browser on all Kindle Fires work well with our platform. You can also use Samsung and Android browsers. Most browsers work well with our site.
Is the entire educational platform online?
There are a series of downloadable worksheets that are provided for each grade level and for each subject. This can also be used as a physical work sample to turn in for any state requirements. Most of the instruction and exercises are online to provide updated lessons and our trademark gamification platform as well as its automatic grading feature.
Is this something that my child can do on their own?
Yes. Hyperion Academics is an educational platform that was designed for students to independently interact with self-directed study. Our platform takes students from lesson to lesson while also offering individual choice in selecting lessons based on the student's own interests. You can choose to work with your student as they go through their lessons or you can simply watch while your student engages with our innovative website. Hyperion Academics was developed to motivate and encourage the unmotivated and discouraged student. Our lessons are also self-graded - all the student needs to do is click the yellow grading star in order to grade their work.
How many lessons are in each grade?
There are over 900 lessons, exercises or games in each grade. We also have many activities via each student's "room."
