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
If your student takes the initiative to be elected or appointed to a Student Body Leadership position, you want them to have the knowledge and skills to make the most of it. This invitation-only course helps students in school leadership roles succeed by developing excellent communication skills.
Students in this course explore the role of charisma in speaking and listening, practice skills for navigating difficult conversations, refine their unique communication style and learn how to connect with an audience. Mentors guide students to use these skills to plan and carry out a school-wide event (in-person or online) and assist in at least two others.
By completing this course, students increase their self-confidence and awareness of their communication strengths and weaknesses. They can more effectively relate to others and are prepared to lead in school and life.
