Why should I consider it?
- Flexible Schedule: Learn when it’s convenient for you. Never be tardy. Never be absent. Begin your studies--anytime, anywhere.
- Mastery Learning: Redo assignments and retake tests if you don’t meet standard on your first try.
- Maximize Your Time and Set Your Own Pace: Each course is designed to take about 45 calendar days, and you can progress faster or slower as your ambition and learning needs dictate. No more scrambling to catch up with the rest of the class or feeling frustrated because you were ready to move on last week. Your goal is to complete 12 online courses per year (6 full credits).
- Get help when you need it: Your Aventa online teacher is available during the day (generally 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM) by phone, e-mail, or chat to help you be successful.
You can also call, e-mail, or visit your on campus, online learning manager in one of the high school buildings for help with organization, goal-setting, time-management, course selection, and registration.
How do I get started?
- Contact a guidance counselor at either high school. Let him/her know you are interested in enrolling as a full-time or part-time online student (If you are a currently enrolled student, part-time enrollment will require the building principal to approve a modified schedule).
- Complete the online learning agreement and written student learning plan with a parent, the high school online learning manager, and a guidance counselor.
Who may enroll in full-time online learning?
- Any self-motivated middle or high school may enroll in online learning. As full-time student, you will need organizational and time-management skills to succeed in this independent learning environment.
How does it work?
Aventa Learning provides curriculum, teachers and instruction for online students. Choose 1 or 2 courses to take at a time. Starting in 9th grade, completing 6 full credits a year will allow you to earn a high school diploma in 4 years.
- Login daily and make acceptable progress toward course completion. This means you should complete 12% of each course every week or make progress as determined by the written student learning plan.
- Communicate once a week minimum by phone or e-mail with your online learning manager. An in-person conference will be required if you are not making acceptable progress or have a login lapse of more than 3 days that has not been pre-arranged.
- Schedule time as needed with your online learning manager to come in and take one unit test and the final assessment for each course. Transportation of online students to either high school campus for testing or conferencing is your responsibility.
- Participate in state assessments, including CBAs/ CBPAs, MSP, HSPE, and mathematics course-end exams. Satisfactory completion of all Sumner School District credit requirements, including the advisory/culminating portfolio process, and any additional state requirements, will earn online students a BHS or SHS diploma as well as allow participation in the commencement ceremony if desired.
