Summer Virtual Program
Each summer school virtual course is designed to match district and state curriculum standards and is taught by certified instructors through engaging video lectures and interactive web activities. Students can easily keep track of their progress, get immediate grades, and use cool features like pausing lectures and taking notes. With online learning, you can access your courses anytime, anywhere, as long as you have an Internet connection, giving you the flexibility to learn on your own terms!
The Virtual Summer Program is separate from the Credit Recovery Summer Program being run by the different school buildings. Please contact your school building administration for information on their Credit Recovery Summer Program.

Summer Program FAQ
Each eLearning course meets district and state curriculum requirements. Certified instructors teach lessons virtually using video lectures, web-based activities, vocabulary exercises, and assessments. Students can track their progress, receive instant grading, and access features like pausing lectures, taking eNotes, and reviewing assessments until they master the material. Additionally, an eLearning facilitator offers motivation and support to help students navigate their coursework successfully.
One of the true benefits of online learning is having the flexibility of 24-hour course access anywhere a computer can access the Internet. Students should expect to invest a minimum of 45-60 hours to complete each course (students needing to retake assessments to achieve mastery will need significantly more time) and be present in the eLearning lab to take tests and the final exam. Upon enrollment, students will receive information regarding lab hours.
