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
As you know, the role of technology in daily life is expanding fast. In an online world—and especially at an online school—you want your student to be well-versed in the tools that will help them succeed. This course helps by boosting their technology skills in multiple core areas.
Students in this self-paced course learn how to write effective emails, format winning documents and resumes, manipulate data in spreadsheets, and create presentations that pop. They also discover new tools and strategies for performing online research and examine the pros and cons of technology’s growing role in society.
By completing this course, students gain the skills to navigate the online learning environment with confidence. They also develop a sense of resourcefulness that will serve them well in high school and beyond.
