Students enrolling full-time in the Aces Digital Academy are doing so for the full length of the school year.

High School Students have three options:

Option 1: Full time through the Aces Digital Academy (6 online courses; 0 courses elsewhere*)

• Students seeking an alternate, full-time option

• Severely credit deficient students or over-age students

• Students with severe medical conditions who require alternate an setting

• Students placed in the Aces Digital Academy in lieu of expulsion 

Option 2: Part-time through the Aces Digital Academy (2 or 3 online courses; 2 or 3 courses elsewhere*)

• Mildly credit deficient students needing credit recovery for up to 2 courses

• CCP students 

Option 3: A La Carte** (1 online course while taking 5-7 courses elsewhere*)

* Elsewhere includes courses taken at Amanda-Clearcreek, EFCTC, or College Credit Plus programs.

** Note: If students are hoping to only take 1 online course, then they do NOT need to enroll in the Online Academy.  Those students are considered “A La Carte” online students.

• For full time students, expect to be scheduled into all courses (4 cores + 2 electives) simultaneously, with weekly pacing expectations.  Half-time students will be in 2 cores + 1 elective.
