The Process

• Full-Time Study – students take all of their courses from us online and can earn an accredited diploma from the eSchool
• Hybrid Study – students take most of their classes – a minimum of 4 classes, usually their core academics – with the eSchool, and take a few courses at their designated school of residence, such as band or choir.
• Shared Schooling – students who are traditionally home-schooled may take 1-3 classes but are not eligible to earn a high school diploma.
• Supplemental Study – students elect to take a small number of courses (usually 1 or 2) to expand learning opportunities but remain fully enrolled at their designated school of residence.
• Returning Students – returning eSchool students must register at the beginning of each new school year.
