This is a blended school, in which all coursework is done online, but there is a campus students can go to during hours to meet with teachers, complete tests, participate in labs, or just to socialize. Each student at this school is given a lead teacher who he or she meets with weekly. This system ensures that no student is left behind and everyone's needs are met. The teachers, counselor, and principal all work together to ensure that each student has a chance to succeed, graduate, and possibly even go off to college. One con about this school is that it is brand new, so there aren't a lot of clubs or approved AP classes yet. However, there is ASB, leadership, and yearbook. We also have AP World History, both AP English courses, AP Statistics, AP US History, AP Calculus AB, AP Psychology, and next year we will have AP Environmental Science and AP Government. Oh, and the school is K-12 not K-8 as some websites state. However elementary, middle, and high school students are always in different parts of campus and have different lunch times.
