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 already a digital native, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ve developed the best skills to succeed in the world of computers. This course will train your student in one skill that stands out when it comes to online communication and time management: typing!
Students in this self-paced course develop strong typing skills to prepare for high school and beyond. They practice in short bursts to improve their typing speed and accuracy. In the process, they learn about common typing “crutches” and how to avoid them.
Students who complete this course gain the confidence and skills to type quickly and effectively, which will give them an edge in their future educational and career pursuits.
