What does a typical day for a full time online student look like?
For students in grades 6th through 11th, most content is learned using the Learning Management System. Blackboard. All courses are created for 90 days of instruction and students are encouraged to work 5-6 hours per day, with approximately 60% of the time spent interacting with the course using the computer and the remainder of the time spent completing assignments. This approach provides time for each student to be introduced to a new idea or concept, and time to work through the new idea while completing assignment.
