➡️What does it mean to be concurrently enrolled in online classes at Global Academy?
Embedded Files
Global Academy offers over 200 online courses to students from 7th-12th grade. One way to take part in these classes is to be concurrently enrolled. Students currently taking classes at a "brick and mortar" campus may opt to take courses online in addition to their normal class load. This is called concurrently enrolling, since the student would be enrolled at GPS Global Academy in addition to their home GPS school.
You are in the right place if:
You have one or more in-person classes on your schedule at a GPS junior high or high school
You'd like to add online class(es) to your schedule, and you will be doing them on your own, at home (or anywhere in the United States).
All decisions regarding distance learning should be discussed with your campus counselor. These courses are not for everyone!
Note: Our courses are not accessible from outside the United States.
