Electives Program
If you want the personal connection of an excellent brick-and-mortar classroom combined with the flexibility of online learning for your student, choose this option. Our signature live online courses are the heart of the Williamsburg program, led by expert mentors who create a deep sense of community between students. Live courses include the following benefits:

In many live courses, we offer both a Classic and Honors format. Students in both versions meet in the same live class sessions, but students in Honors courses have about 30% more readings and assignments, including projects that are more challenging. Students are welcome to enroll in whichever version fits best for them and can switch within the first twenty-one days of the semester. Honors courses are not available in the self-paced format.
If your student works well independently or needs more flexibility to work around other
activities, our self-paced courses are an ideal option and provide a richer, more personal experience than many other asynchronous online courses. Self-paced courses include the following benefits:
In high school Math, Fine Arts, PE, and Electives, we offer independent courses so students can earn academic credit for learning from a third-party curriculum provider. Some students prefer alternative math programs; others put in long hours practicing musical instruments, competing on an athletic team, or participating in internships. Students can earn credit for these and other activities by enrolling in an Independent Studies course, provided they fulfill the course requirements (see the above course links for full details).
Why This Class
Is your student fascinated by the world of animation? Do they love watching animated films even more than live-action ones? Today, your student’s taste for exploring these realms can lead to lucrative careers or satisfying hobbies. With that in mind, this course gives your student the chance to go behind the scenes of 3D animation, design, and printing.
Students in this self-paced course learn how to build digital worlds from the ground up with detailed characters, objects, and landscapes. These worlds can then be brought to life via digital animation or as a physical object with 3D printing.
Students emerge from this course with an appreciation for the effort and artistic talent that go into creating the animated worlds they adore. They are also prepared to make informed choices about pursuing a career path in designing these worlds themselves.
