What is online learning?

Online learning provides flexibility for students to enjoy their summer and earn high school credits. Students work at their own pace and time within the Summer School parameters.  Online learning requires a significant commitment of time and effort in order to be successful.  Self-motivation and good time management are essential. Online classes are definitely more convenient and flexible, but are in some ways more difficult. During Summer School, due to the condensed time frame of a semester class, students should plan on committing approximately 16 hours a week for each class.

 

Students who are traveling, attending camps, or plan to be away from their virtual class for more than 2 consecutive days should pace themselves by working ahead of the weekly scheduled coursework.  Once the class begins, students are responsible for notifying their teacher of the days they will be absent.
