Director of Secondary Curriculum
Jessica Moore says the goal is to create a more personalized and flexible opportunity for students.
A student could go faster than they would in a traditional brick-and-mortar school because if they re able to obtain that mastery because it s their passion or their interest or they just understand the material so well, they could go through it a little bit faster. Their attendance would be connected with progress towards graduation, so they would not necessarily have to come to class every day. They would do it in a manner that works for them.
