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 a parent, you may be in the habit of helping your student manage most of their day-to-day life. Now that they’ve reached high school, you are ready to turn that responsibility over to them. This course helps your student make that shift by developing the essential habits of making and keeping commitments, consciously budgeting their time, and developing tech skills that promote confidence.
Mentors in this course help students develop a personal mission statement to guide the commitments they make of their time and energy. Students submit weekly accountability reports to establish consistent follow-through on their goals and get regular doses of inspiration in class as they read and discuss great books and describe their successes, failures, and lessons learned.
By the end of this course, students learn to appreciate the satisfaction of making and keeping commitments, being accountable to themselves, and taking ownership of their daily lives.
