EHS Online Courses

To build on what we have learned through distance learning and to continue to foster student independence and post-secondary skills, in 2022-23 EHS will offer multiple online courses. Meeting the same standards and rigor of any face to face course, EHS online learning will provide our learners the option to choose a different learning pathway.

What makes a course an online course?

While teachers may request students to report in person for an individual or small group conference, an online course is essentially conducted through the internet. Course instruction and assessment asks students to work and study independently.

Does an online course count as one of my 14 total classes for the school year?

Yes.

Are online courses easier or harder than face to face courses?

Online courses are not easier or harder and simply offer the same rigorous curriculum delivered in a different way. A student taking an online course will be spending at least the same amount of time completing assignments as a student would in a traditional face to face course.

Why should I take an online course?

Online courses offer flexibility that can fit well with some learning styles. To succeed in such an environment you need to be an independent learner, well organized, disciplined, and on-task. Students who have motivation, good time management and technology skills will likely do well in an online course.
