BISD Hybrid Learning Program

WHAT IS THE BISD HYBRID LEARNING PROGRAM?

The Bellville ISD Hybrid Learning Program provides an opportunity for students to enroll in Bellville ISD with increased flexibility for how and when they access learning while still being engrained in the BISD Culture. Specifically, Bellville ISD's Hybrid Learning Program is available to students in grades 7-12. (For the 2026-2027 school year, enrollment is limited to a total of 20 students engaging in a pilot program.)

Students in BISD's Hybrid Learning Program will be assigned to core content classes provided virtually through partnership with an online instructional provider called Edmentum. Core content classes taken through the Hybrid Learning Program are on-level classes and are not eligible for weighted credit on students' GPA. Students in the Hybrid Learning Program will take the same number of classes as traditional students, (8 each year), and are held to the same academic performance standards for participation in extra-curricular and co-curricular activities. All students enrolled in Bellville ISD's Hybrid Learning Program are required to take a minimum of one course onsite. Specific on-site elective offerings are outlined in the BISD Hybrid Learning Program Guide linked below. On-site course offerings include participation in athletics, select ag-courses, and fine-arts options.

WHY HYBRID LEARNING?

The mission of Bellville ISD is to partner with students, staff, parents, and community to cultivate relevant learning experiences so that each individual is empowered by their unique gifts and interests. At the time when public educational institutions were being created, Horace Mann, deemed to be the Father of Education described educational systems as being more pliant and ductile than any other institution- able to take on a great variety of forms.

We are currently experiencing change at a greater rate than any of us have seen in our lifetimes before, and state and national political agendas have prioritized personalization and choice when it comes to education. As such, Bellville ISD is seeking to remain a relevant and positive contributor in our local educational arena by adapting to the changing situations, purposes, conditions, and challenges in the world of education.

While we appreciate and will continue to maintain traditional educational offerings and access as the core of BISD, we value the opportunity to expand access, choice, and flexibility to our students and families through this new program offering.
