Program Description

Online learning complements, supplements, or serves as an alternative -- but is not a replacement to traditional classroom learning. It is an additional option for districts as they face increased requirements, limited resources, shortage of personnel and scheduling conflicts. Online learning takes place using the Internet and is personalized and highly flexible. We believe we have developed an online learning program that fits several needs that our school districts have identified. Every student sits in the front row in a virtual classroom! Students who enroll in online courses must be accountable for their work and commit to completion of enrolled courses.

Questar III online coursework- $485 per student/per credit course, $306 per student/per ½ credit course.

AccelerateU - $806 per student for ½ or full credit course.
