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: - Weekly live classes with mentor and peers - Live interaction via webcam, mic, and chat box - Access to live study groups and 1:1 tutoring - Chances to participate in student government - Group projects & peer-reviewed presentations - Simulations & student-led discussions - Written, oral, and project-based exams ![classic or honors online course](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/Group%20195%20(1)-1.svg) ![classic or honors online course](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/WHITE%20classic%20honors.svg) #### Classic & Honors Versions 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. - Freedom to participate in other programs and extracurriculars - Freedom to go deeper in other areas of interest - Time to process what you’re learning without being overwhelmed by assignments and readings - Opportunities for deeper readings, discussions, and analysis - Challenging assignments exploring themes, lessons, and characters in the liberal arts - Freedom to thoroughly explore the subject material ![self-paced online course](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/Icons%20Badges/ico-bar-3.svg) ![self-paced online course](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/WHITE%20selfpaced.svg) #### Self-Paced Courses 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: - Engaging recordings from our best live classes - Interaction with peers through online forums - Access to weekly mentor office hours - Streamlined assignments for meaningful learning - Same high-quality readings as live classes - Same personalized feedback as live classes ![independent studies online course](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/Icons%20Badges/ico-bar-2.svg) ![independent studies online course](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/WHITE%20indi%20studies%20course.svg) #### Independent Studies Courses In high school [Math](https://www.williamsburglearning.com/curriculum/high-school/math/independent-math-courses/), [Fine Arts](https://www.williamsburglearning.com/curriculum/high-school/fine-arts/independent-fine-arts/), [PE](https://www.williamsburglearning.com/curriculum/high-school/pe-health/independent-pe/), and [Electives](https://www.williamsburglearning.com/curriculum/high-school/electives/independent-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). - Earn credit for things you are already doing and enjoy - Access to a mentor while working independently to complete education hours Why This Class Does your student practice and receive coaching in an individual or team sport on a regular basis? Are they passionate about continuing their training alongside their academic pursuits? If so, you want their dedication to pay off as much as possible. This course gives your student the chance to receive high school credit for their athletic pursuits. Students in this course commit to logging sixty hours of combined practice or work in a single activity within a given semester. Along the way, they submit four brief reports of their progress (one for every fifteen hours of work) and receive live instruction or coaching at least four times from a qualified professional in their field. A qualified professional can be a coach, a professional teacher, or anyone trained in the subject. If the parent of a student also happens to be a qualified professional, they can fill this role. Students submit their instructor’s contact information for Williamsburg to confirm at the end of the semester. By completing this course, students earn credit for participating in a sport or activity that inspires them. They not only improve as athletes but also strengthen their ability to set goals independently and achieve them. ![Featured Image](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/independent-pe.jpeg) [![REGISTER NOW](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/8517951/88ac3225-76e8-42c6-b779-0d65b82fa80e.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/8517951/88ac3225-76e8-42c6-b779-0d65b82fa80e) **Course Details** Recommended Grade: 9th (Freshman) – 12th (Senior) Prerequisites: None Estimated Weekly Hours: 4 Format: Self-paced Credits: 0.5, Pass/Fail *Students can enroll in Independent PE for any of the following activities (activities not on this list must first be approved by the course mentor): Team Sports: Football, Soccer, Rugby, Basketball, Baseball, Hockey, Lacrosse, Volleyball, Water Polo Individual Sports: Martial Arts (includes all forms), Tennis, Golf, Track & Field, Wrestling, Rodeo, Swimming, Skateboarding, Surfing, Fencing, Bowling, Figure Skating, Yoga, Rock Climbing, Mountain Climbing, Hiking, Running, Paintball, Kayaking, Mountain Biking, Road Biking, Shooting, Motor Sports, Snowboarding, Skiing ### Reading List ![Group 166](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/Group%20166.svg) None ### Overarching Questions ![Group 108](https://blogstaging.williamsburglearning.com/hubfs/Group%20108.svg) How can I earn credit by practicing a physical activity that I love, receiving instruction from an expert, and reporting on my progress?
