Cicero Learning
Engineering & Technology

Online engineering & technology courses, taught one to one.

Cicero teaches engineering & technology the way it deserves to be taught — one specialist teacher, one student, real work. One accredited online engineering & technology course for grades 5–12, each built around the child in front of the teacher.

No lecture hall, no fifty-minute bell. Your child reads, thinks, and gets to argue their case with a specialist who has the time to answer.

How it works

What an online engineering & technology class actually looks like.

Two live sessions a week with the same teacher all year. Between them your child works, and comes back with questions. Because it is one-to-one, the plan bends to the student rather than the other way around.

A student who becomes obsessed with one corner of the subject spends real time there. A student working toward an exam works backward from it. Both finish with a transcript grade and work worth keeping.

Built around your child

One teacher and one student means the material is pitched at the reader in front of them, not at an average student who doesn't exist.

Writing every week

Clear written argument is the skill that lasts. Work comes back marked and gets rewritten — the loop that class size takes away.

Discussion, not lecture

With one student in the room, the session is a conversation. Your child does most of the talking, and thinking out loud is the point.

Grades and credit that travel

Cicero is accredited with NCA CASI, NWAC and SACS CASI via Cognia. Coursework earns a transcript colleges recognize.

Who teaches it

The specialists who teach engineering & technology

We hire subject specialists, not generalists with a spare period. Every teacher has advanced study in the field and years of one-to-one teaching behind them.

Why it works

Why engineering & technology gains from one-to-one.

It is a conversation

Real understanding shows up when a student has to explain and defend an idea out loud — something almost no one does in a class of thirty.

The work can be right

One teacher, one student means the reading, the pace and the problems are chosen for this child, not a syllabus average.

Feedback that lands

Every piece of work comes back marked closely and gets another pass. That loop is where the learning actually happens.

Questions

Frequently asked questions about our online engineering & technology courses

What online engineering & technology courses does Cicero offer?

One engineering & technology course for grades 5–12, each taught one-to-one. If your child needs something not listed, ask — several of our courses began as one family's request.

Are Cicero's engineering & technology courses accredited?

Yes. Cicero is accredited with NCA CASI, NWAC and SACS CASI via Cognia, so coursework earns real grades, credits and a transcript colleges recognize — including for families who otherwise homeschool.

What grades are the engineering & technology courses for?

Grades 5–12. Because teaching is one-to-one, a course is pitched at the student in front of the teacher rather than at a grade average.

How many sessions a week, and how long is a course?

Typically two live sessions a week across a 30-week year, with work in between. Semester electives run about 15 weeks. Start dates are rolling — we don't wait for September.

Do you teach engineering & technology to students outside the US?

Yes. About half our families are outside the United States, including families travelling full time. Sessions are scheduled to your time zone and your child keeps the same teacher wherever you are.

Other subject areas

Many of our families pair engineering & technology with a second subject and run the two together.
