How Our Students Benefit From Flexible Learning
Holston Academy’s flexible online learning model empowers students to shape their education around their lives, without sacrificing quality or support. In our flexible learning environment, students can move quickly through subjects they master or take extra time where needed, so they can establish a deeper understanding with less stress.
Academic flexibility allows students to balance school with athletics, the arts, travel, or family commitments so they never have to choose between their interests and their education. Our flexible online school also accommodates each student’s unique learning needs. This approach helps every student reach their full potential, no matter their goals or circumstances.
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A HOLSTON LEARNER
Pursuit of a College Degree
A typical day for a Holston student is shaped by choice and flexibility. Mornings might start with a self-paced lesson followed by time for sports, creative pursuits, or family activities. In the afternoon, students can work on assignments or connect with teachers whenever it fits their schedule.
Take Daniel, for example — a high school junior who needed AP® courses not offered at his local school. With Holston’s flexible online learning, Daniel could fit advanced coursework into his daily studies, receive support from teachers and coaches, and build a transcript that reflects both his ambitions and his busy life.
Our Curriculum: Flexibility Meets Academic Excellence
At Holston Academy, academic flexibility is built into every aspect of our curriculum. Students can choose from a wide range of core subjects, electives, honors, AP® courses, and specialty classes, all designed to support different interests and learning goals. The flexibility our online school offers makes it possible for students to access coursework 24/7, allowing them to learn at their own pace and on their own terms. With rigorous standards and a commitment to quality, Holston ensures that flexibility never comes at the expense of academic excellence.
