Middle School Courses provide three paces in which a
student may complete the courses. The students are
recommended to work with their parent, school, guidance
counselor, or local education guide (LEG) to determine
the pace that fits their need.
To help
determine the pace choice for the course, consider your
academic needs and how much time you can devote to the
online course.
The
three paces and their descriptions are:
Ø
Accelerated
Pace means that you will complete a full year
course in a semester or approximately two modules per
month. This pace is designed for students seeking a
Pre-Advanced Placement middle school course, more
advanced work in a subject area, or has flexibility in
their schedule to accelerate their learning. It is
anticipated that you will spend 2-3 hours per day in the
course and complete the full course in one semester or
18 weeks.
Ø
Traditional Pace
means
that you will complete approximately half of the year
long course in one semester or approximately one module
per month. This is a more common pace for most middle
school students working at grade level in a content
area. It is anticipated that you will spend 1-1.5 hours
per day in the course and complete the full course in
two semesters or 36 weeks.
Ø
Extended Pace
means
that your school, parent, online teacher, guidance
counselor, classroom teacher, or local education guide
have agreed on a modified course to fit your individual
learning needs. The anticipated time spent in the course
and amount to be complete is determined by your
individual education plan (IEP) or learning path through
your school.
Special
Notes:
ALL
students taking WVS courses have a maximum of 5
months to complete their semester online course for
one-half credit.
Students taking middle school courses at a traditional
pace will need to enroll and pay tuition for the
second semester of the course if they are intending to
complete a year of course work for a full credit. They
will resume the course where they left off in the first
semester.
Students choosing the accelerated pace have five
months to complete the full course and would not
register and pay for tuition for a second semester.
Students choosing the extended pace with an
individual education plan (IEP) or learning path would
enroll and pay tuition for each semester they need to
access the course.
The cost for Middle School Courses is
$325 per semester
per course. Courses available:
