Hello Students, Parents, and Community Members:
We are excited to be working with the San Juan BOCES to bring school districts of Southwest Colorado their own accredited, tuition-free, diploma-granting, online school. We are very pleased that you are here and interested in learning more about our school and its unique learning environment. Southwest Colorado eSchool is a regional online middle and high school that is both local and global. Students are able to receive local support services, attend field trips, and participate in sports and other extracurricular activities while engaging in a variety of online courses that open up the world to them through the power of the Internet.
At the Southwest Colorado eSchool, we continue to understand that in today’s world the lives of students are fast-paced and dynamic. Young people and their families are looking for opportunities that fit their lifestyle and still provide rigorous and supportive learning environments. Our goal is to provide our students with a high-quality education that is as flexible as our students need it to be. Students enrolled in the Southwest Colorado eSchool can do their school work anytime and anywhere there is a high-speed Internet connection. This means that students who want to work a full-time job during the day can work on their classes in the evenings and over the weekends, or students who want to participate more fully in their sport or activity can build their own schedule around their needs. Other students who often thrive in online education include home school students, teenage moms, students who want greater flexibility for any reason, or students who want an increased level of course offerings.
All Southwest Colorado eSchool courses are taught by highly qualified, Colorado licensed teachers whose qualifications and experience are focused on a specific content area. Many of our teachers have years of experience using the unique tools of online instruction to help students succeed. Students in our school can expect a highly interactive learning environment with online discussions, live conferencing with teachers and tutors, email, instant messaging, text messaging, and phone conversations.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or maybe you are thinking that the Southwest Colorado eSchool could be a good fit for your student and want to learn more.
Cheers,
Meagan Johnson, Southwest Colorado eSchool Principal
