Begin your course!
You will be allowed to log in to your course within five
business days from when your payment is received. An information packet
providing all necessary passwords, as well as a welcome letter from the
school and your teacher, will be sent to you by mail and email. You're
ready to begin learning!
When you receive
notification that you are enrolled in the program you will enter the cyber
virtual school by using your log on identification number and password and take
several on-line learning style assessments.
You will be directed to the course section and select the five courses
you want to take this semester.
By way of introduction,
you will first take a three-day orientation course that will prepare you to be a
successful on-line student. This
course will familiarize you with all of the skills and techniques you will need
to navigate the Virtual School.
Upon completion of the
orientation program, you will begin completing your assigned courses one lesson
at a time. Demonstration of mastery
for each lesson is required to progress to the next lesson.
Your on-line teachers and other cyber friends will provide support and
assistance as you complete each assignment.
It is to your advantage to
devote as much time as possible to completing each course.
You will get credit for each course as soon as you complete each course
requirements. Some
students will enroll in their five classes and spend more time completing one or
two to get them out of the way and take more time on the other two or three.
Others will spend an equal amount of time on each course each day as though you
were attending a class at a traditional school.
Either way, you have plenty of time to finish and you can work anytime
and anyplace on these courses.
Each course is designed so
that you will be provided some information and asked to go to the Internet to
look at additional information. You
will then be directed to participate in an activity that will require you to
collect some of the information provided you in addition to some information you
have to find on your own. These activity
grades will be averaged and account for 70 % of your grade.
We believe that in this way your learning will be more fun for you and
you will acquire a variety of learning skills that will help you throughout your
life.
You will be given tests
regularly and the tests will also be online.
The tests scores will be averaged and will count as 20 % of your grade.
