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
When it comes to decisions made after high school, you want your student to hit a home run: to choose the schools that meet their needs and career goals, to craft a competitive application for each school or program, and to gain admission to one or more of those options.
Mentors in this course help students examine their professional and adult career options by asking thoughtful questions to ensure their choices are the right ones for them.
Students study the decisions that they will make as they enter the adult realm. They discuss how to set goals and keep commitments, how to deal with setbacks and failures, and how to develop grit. Mentors will guide students through a realistic exploration of talents, interests, job options, and career paths.
Each student will then research a specific college or alternative career option
By the end of this course, students are ready to start the next chapter of their lives with confidence. They have the knowledge and skills to create their post-secondary experience on their terms.
