Performers
Being in a virtual school setting provides flexibility to do coursework when it works best for each student, providing a balance between their education and pursuing their passion.
Advanced Students
With the ability to enroll in a course that matches a student’s academic ability and not their age, gifted students are able to work on grade level in certain subjects, while working ahead in others.
Students Getting Caught Up
Students needing to get caught up in a subject can take a few courses during the school year or over the summer and receive an accredited transcript.
International Students
International students benefit from an accredited US-based education and US-based families can maintain consistency in their child’s education while traveling abroad.
Part-Time Students
With our robust course offerings, students have the ability to enroll part-time and add Honors or AP-level courses to their transcripts while maintaining enrollment in their full-time school.
Homeschoolers
Homeschool students looking for an accredited education can enroll with us full-time or supplement their education with part-time and summer online courses to take advantage of our advanced classes or explore an area of interest.
