Leadership 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
Your student is preparing to enter a world filled with different causes, values, and adventures vying for their attention. This course is designed to help students learn to identify core values in their lives and to build a life of commitment to the values and people most important in their lives.
Throughout this course, mentors will guide students to learn what commitments are and how to effectively make and keep commitments. Students will explore how building a life on strong core values will enable them to think innovatively and explore solutions “outside the box”. Students will come to understand the value of stretching themselves a little every day–coming to live a life of continuous improvement.
By the end of this course, students will have a better understanding of what values are most important to them personally and how to stand up for those values, even when unpopular. Students will experience incredible growth as they take small steps to consistently expand their comfort zone.
