Introduction

ACS Athens Virtual offers online synchronous, asynchronous, meaningful, and challenging high school courses that embrace the American educational philosophy and are holistically aligned with the school's mission of encouraging responsible global citizenship.

ACS Athens Virtual courses are fast-paced, accelerated courses delivered online through our course management system, Moodle. Students will participate in a blend of self-paced and group-paced activities at designated times throughout the course session using Moodle and/or alternative Internet-based technologies. Activities consist of synchronous (real-time) and asynchronous communication. Synchronous sessions will occur at a designated time via Zoom at least once per week. The courses have been designed to engage students for up to 9 hours a week on coursework, which includes synchronous and asynchronous work.
