Online Learning Program

Our current Online Learning Program is a long-term independent study program, formerly known as VLP. This program does not include live, synchronous instruction. Instead, students complete coursework independently through Edmentum, while teachers provide limited but targeted guidance and feedback asynchronously.

This program is designed for students who are ready to take ownership of their learning and can thrive with flexibility and self-direction.

Before requesting Online Learning for your student, please consider the following eligibility criteria for acceptance:
  • Can work independently with minimal assistance.
  • Demonstrates self-motivation and consistent follow-through.
  • Has basic grade-level reading and writing skills to navigate online content.
  • Has reliable access to a device and internet.
  • Can manage time effectively and meet weekly deadlines.
  • Does not require frequent behavioral or academic prompting.
  • Has parent/guardian support to monitor progress and engagement.
Important Considerations

To ensure students remain on track and experience success, please keep the following in mind:

  • Independent Study is not for everyone. Students who require frequent prompting, direct instruction, or ongoing interventions typically do not thrive in a long-term independent study setting.
  • These students may face challenges such as falling behind in credits or experiencing declines in engagement.
  • Our shared goal is to place students in an environment where they are best positioned to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.

However, those who meet the priority deadline will receive extra consideration in the decision-making process. In other words, meeting the priority deadline will factor in our complete review.
