Students are provided with learning materials, test preparation and reports to enable them to understand the learning and progress they have made.<\/p>

Parents will have the peace of mind that their child will be receiving a quality education.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Online High School offers unique benefits in various aspects, not just for the child but for the entire family.<\/p>

Accredited<\/strong>
Earn a US Accredited High School Diploma! Courses are provided by an accredited High school in the USA and provide the coursework and teachers, just like traditional schools.<\/p>

Financial<\/strong>
Online High School offers affordability for all parents and students. Save on school fees and use the savings to spend instead on selected programs to boost your child\u2019s learning. No more extra fees need to be paid for the school bus, school equipment and uniform.<\/p>

Self Paced Learning<\/strong>
Students may begin at any time during the calendar year, and progress at the pace that they find most comfortable. Students work in their own time for their personal goals.<\/p>

Family and Community<\/strong>
All family members get to be involved in schooling, less time on the road stuck in traffic equals more time at home, more time to see the world together and more time to serve as a family.\u00a0<\/p>

Support<\/strong>
You’re never alone with a counselor at every step that works for the realities of your schedule. Students work closely with a counselor to develop their Personal Graduation Plan.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Extensive research carried out in the US has consistently shown that children who are home-schooled score better in exams than children in state schools. The Home School Progress Report of 2009, conducted by Brian Ray of the National Home Education Research Institute and reported in the Washington Times, surveyed more than 11,000 home-schooled children and found that, on average, a home-schooled child scored 37% higher in standardised achievement tests than their publicly-schooled counterparts.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

No.<\/p>

You have the flexibility to complete your coursework on a schedule that works best for you.

Yes!\u00a0Even though online learning does not schedule courses by traditional semesters, students can enroll in 0.5 credit of a course, any time of year, and complete either the 1st semester or the 2nd semester. This is ideal for students who just need to make up credit for 1 semester of a course.\u00a0 On average, students complete 0.5 credit (1st or 2nd semester) in 3-5 months \u2013 about the same time as a semester in a traditional school.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

YES!\u00a0Students can choose to enroll as a full-time student with the goal of earning a High School diploma\u00a0or enroll in individual courses. There are many reasons for students to enroll in\u00a0individual courses:<\/p>

Students can enroll any time of year \u2013 not just at the semester break or summer break<\/p>

All students work one-to-one with a counselor. Enrollment begins with a New Student Orientation that will be reviewed by your child\u2019s counselor. If your child is enrolled in one of the Diploma Programs, his or her counselor will develop a Personal Graduation Plan that outlines the courses needed to earn a High School diploma. Your child\u2019s Personal Graduation Plan will be updated each year your child is enrolled.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Many students feel they are better at some subjects than others. Students often tell us they are great at Math but not English (or vice versa).\u00a0Self-paced\u00a0learning removes the stress associated with meeting deadlines for completing courses by the end of the semester. For example, the student who is skilled in Math may move through their Algebra course quickly, while they take their time revising their work in English until they master the concepts in the lesson. Students complete lessons and earn credit for their courses when they have mastered all the lessons in the course. On average, students who work 5 days a week will complete a 1 credit course in 4 \u2013 6 months.<\/p>

*Note\u00a0-Self-paced learning does\u00a0not\u00a0mean that students can procrastinate in the subjects they don\u2019t love and then expect to submit all the lessons at once. In most courses, students may submit up to 2 lessons per day in each course (1 new lesson and 1 lesson revision, or 2 lesson revisions). We believe that consistency is the best approach for completing courses.<\/p>

Your student\u2019s Guidance Counselor will help your child develop a Personal Graduation Plan to keep them moving forward toward their goal of graduating!<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes, all the course work, and communication with the teachers is done online. After you enroll, you will receive a username and password in your email. This will give you access to all of your courses. All new students complete an orientation; however, here is a brief overview:<\/p>

Students work on three courses at a time.<\/p>

Each course begins with a Teacher Message and requirements for the course.<\/p>

You will begin by submitting the assignment in Lesson 1.<\/p>

Your teacher will respond within 24-48 hours (often sooner). He or she may ask for revisions to improve your assignment until you have mastered the lesson. Typically, students make 3-4 revisions before completing the lesson. Once you \u201cget it,\u201d your teacher will assign a grade and you will move on to the next lesson.<\/p>

You can submit up to 2 posts a day in most courses. This is what allows you to move through your courses at your pace \u2013 not the pace set by a traditional school calendar.\u00a0Note:\u00a02 posts = 1 new lesson and 1 revision or 2 revisions.<\/p>

Credits and grades are updated immediately upon completion of the course. You will always have access to view your transcript and Grade Point Average.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

No and Yes.<\/p>

No. Online learning\u00a0is open 24 hours a day, and you may log in at any time of day that fits your schedule.\u00a0 However, we recommend that you set a schedule that allows you to submit work 5 days a week. This is the best way to stay on track to earn 6 credits a year and ultimately to graduate.<\/p>

Yes \u2013 your online activity is logged each time you log in and submit work. If you are asked for proof of enrollment, you may request documentation to verify your activity. Please understand that this only indicates the days you were logged into your school account, and that much of your time \u201cgoing to school\u201d may be completed offline.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We understand that parents want assurances that their child is making progress in school.\u00a0We believe in full transparency.\u00a0That means you have access to your child\u2019s courses and all of their communications with their teachers and Guidance Counselor. Plus, parents have their own Parent Desk for confidential communication with guidance and school administrators.<\/p>

Here is how it works:<\/p>

When you enroll your child, you will be sent your Parent Username and Password to open your\u00a0Parent Desk. This gives you access to all of your child\u2019s schoolwork. You can easily open each course and view submitted work and communications between your child and their teachers. Additionally, you can open your child\u2019s\u00a0Course Activity Calendar\u00a0and view the days they have logged in and submitted work. You will also have a link to communicate confidentially with your child\u2019s\u00a0Guidance Counselor.<\/p>

Weekly Summary Progress Report\u00a0\u2013 You will be emailed a link to open a Weekly Summary Progress Report for your child\u2019s work. You will know exactly how many lessons were submitted, and how many lessons are in progress. You will also see the completed lesson and the course average to date.<\/p>

If you elect to enroll your child in the PLUS Program, you will have the\u00a0direct-line phone number\u00a0of your child\u2019s Guidance Counselor. You may call and discuss concerns,\u00a0 or just ask for clarification M \u2013 F 9:00 AM \u2013 4:30 PM Eastern Time.<\/p>

Monthly Detailed Progress Report \u2013\u00a0You will be emailed a link to open a Monthly Detailed Progress Report for your child\u2019s work. Your child\u2019s Guidance Counselor will provide details of work in progress and completed during the month. You will know exactly how many lessons were submitted, and how many lessons are in progress. You will also see the completed lesson and the course average to date.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
