Evening & Weekend High School Courses

• Online students will be part of a learning group with an assigned online teacher. During every scheduled class, they will interact with their teacher and classmates in a structured learning environment. The opportunity to build connections can help students feel more supported and comfortable in adapting to online learning.
• This format includes live online teacher instruction as well as directed activities and assignments that students complete independently. Teachers are responsible for organizing students’ schedules and monitoring their progress.

• Quarterly fast track classes are best suited for students who are aware that this will be delivered using a compressed timeline. Each Metro class is 87 hours of instruction. A quarterly fast track course includes 12 hours and 20 minutes of instruction per week, whereas a semestered class includes 6 hours of instruction per week.
• Quarterly fast track courses move twice as fast as semestered courses.
• Students should consider the time and space they have to dedicate to their studies in choosing the timing of course-delivery.

To complete an academic course, students will require internet access and access to a computer (laptop, Chromebook, or desktop) with a working microphone and camera (either built-in or external). Courses will be delivered on the G Suite (Google Classroom) platform. Tablets and cell phones are not recommended as they cannot support the programs students are required to use. The expectation is that student cameras are on during synchronous activities to foster active participation and community building.
