Teacher Directed
Evans also offers high school teacher directed classes. These classes provide a traditional teacher directed curriculum, allowing students to interact with a teacher and their classmates. Students are required to attend class, turn in assignments, and take tests in a more structured and rigorous manner. These classes also provide our students with the opportunity to experience an academic environment similar to college.
Individualized Instruction
Individualized instruction offers a great opportunity for busy adult students to complete their classes towards a high school diploma while acquiring the skills, self-discipline, and study habits needed to succeed in any post-secondary program, e.g. trade school or college.
There are many advantages to taking classes in a lab:
-
Self-paced program
-
Flexible schedule
-
One-on-one tutoring by a teacher
-
All textbooks are provided
Adult Independent Studies
These classes are specially designed for students who do not have the time to attend school regularly. Students complete the required assignments at home, accessing the instructor through Zoom.
This program requires a lot of discipline from the student to study and do the work at home in a timely manner.
All courses required for a high school diploma are available EXCEPT:
-
General Science Integrated 3* (K-12 equivalent: Integrated/Coordinated Science 2A)
-
