The St. Helens High School Academic Options Program uses two online educational platforms to ensure our students' success.
We are using Edmentum Courseware to provide core class curriculum; math, science, government, history, language arts. Edmentum Courseware provides a valuable flexible alternative for students to gain credit; working in the classroom directly with teachers as well as independently on their own time. Placement in these courses is a team decision involving students, school counselors, and administration for the purpose of meeting graduation requirements.
We are also partnered with BYU - Independent Online Study Courses. The 550+ online courses; the standard content areas, six CTE content instructional areas and many free classes. The classes are taught by certified instructors that are highly qualified in their field. Most of the courses earn .5 credit per course. Students can enroll at any time and finish as soon as a week and up to one year. However, students should check with school counselors and administration prior to enrollment to ensure classes meet graduation requirements. These classes are at the expense of the student.
