Adult Independent Studies - Online (A.I.S.)

These classes are specially designed for students who do not have the time to attend school regularly.  Students complete the required assignments at home, coming to school only once a week to turn in their completed assignments, take tests, and pick up new assignments.

All courses required for a high school diploma are available EXCEPT:

​

  • General Science Integrated 3*  (K-12 equivalent: Integrated/Coordinated Science 2A)
