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
As your student progresses through adolescence and prepares for new challenges and adventures in high school and beyond, you want to know that they have the resilience to thrive amidst change. This course helps students develop that resilience.
Students in this course learn and practice skills including mindfulness, humor, and visualization. They observe great examples of resilience around them and explore different mindsets for learning, gaining awareness of the value of a growth mindset for persistently pursuing their educational and life goals.
By completing the projects in this course, students become better able to maintain composure in difficult times and see the opportunities in adversity. At the end of the course, students feel more confident moving forward as resilient stewards of their lives.
