ABOUT OUR PROGRAM
The Independent Study program provides an educational alternative for secondary students who have the ability, study skills, motivation, and self-discipline to learn independently under the supervision and support of a credentialed secondary education teacher who assigns and evaluates all coursework as their Advisor.
Independent Study students may desire an accelerated learning program, a flexible schedule to pursue a career goal, or may simply learn better in an independent program with one-to-one interactions with a credentialed teacher. Depending on courses a student is enrolled in, they attend classes in person 2-3 times a week, as well as meeting weekly with their Advisor to review progress. When students need further assistance they can schedule one on one meetings with their Advisor.
