How Does Online Ninth Grade Work?

You may wonder, how does online learning work? It’s pretty simple. Our school day combines live virtual classes with time for independent learning. Students receive instruction from certified Washington educators and build key skills like time management and self-direction. It’s a rhythm that helps them stay organized and grow more confident each day.
