Academics 

Based on your current progress towards graduation, your teacher will assign you materials in a small number of courses at a time.  You'll complete workbooks, projects, essays, and internet exploration.  You'll schedule your day to work 4-6 hours on homework, at home.  You'll meet with your Independent Study teacher for two appointments a week.  Each appointment will be one hour long, and you will turn in completed workbooks, and take tests on the concepts you learned.  

*Availability of Independent Study/packet based courses is limited due to distance learning requirements 

OFY also offers and encourages students to participate in Direct Instruction (DI) classes for Math, Science, and English courses. DI classroom environments are similar to traditional school classrooms, but by limiting the class size (5-15 students), each student receives the attention necessary to succeed. In addition to working on assignments individually, DI participants collaborate with fellow classmates regularly, learning together and supporting one another’s success. 

*DI courses are meeting virtually

In addition to independent and small group instruction, students can enroll in online classes. These courses offer students an additional level of schedule flexibility and access to advanced and AP coursework. Online classes can take place anywhere students have access to the internet. All students are assessed both electronically and by written work, and continue to maintain regular appointments with their teacher.
