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 a natural tinkerer, someone who’s continually building things or taking them apart to find out how they work? If so, you want to nurture their inner inventor. This course helps by introducing them to the principles and real-world impact of innovative engineering.
Students in this self-paced course explore various careers in engineering and technology and learn about the fundamental skills that lead to success in those fields. They learn how engineers turn problems into products—from phones to bridges and everything in between. They also examine cutting-edge projects that are changing the world in civil, mechanical, chemical, and biological engineering. The course wraps up with a look at today’s so-called “impossible” engineering challenges.
By completing this course, students gain awareness of how great engineering can change the world for the better. With this in mind, they can make an informed choice about whether engineering is the field for them.
