| Seminole County Schools recognizes that today’s students learn in
different ways, at different rates, and on different schedules. Our
schools now offer the flexibility to accommodate today’s students and
families through a variety of choice programs that include magnet
schools and programs of emphasis, as well as virtual options for
full-time Kindergarten through grade twelve students and part-time
virtual coursework for students in grades six through twelve. These
programs offer a wide-range of acceleration opportunities, as well as
credit recovery and remediation, through blended schedules that permit
students to take some face-to-face courses and some virtual courses,
depending on each student’s most optimal learning situation. |  |
Beginning with the 2012-13 school year, Seminole County, students will
have the opportunity to choose the education pathway - the ePathway - that best suits
their learning style, personal interests and academic strengths.
Students will have a variety of course options, both core and elective,
that can be taken in a modern classroom setting or in a virtual
environment. Students may choose any blend of virtual and traditional
classes, including a full-time schedule of online courses, while
remaining publicly enrolled in their school, and participating in the
extracurricular activities of their choice. Virtual classes can be
taken either in a lab setting at the school or in their home
environment.
|
 | Examples of the 2012-13 expanded choices include middle and high school
computer labs that will be open for extended hours so students can
access virtual classes beyond the school day, which allows students to
either attend school during traditional hours or create a flexible
schedule. High School students will also have the opportunity to
participate in college level courses through the Advanced Placement
Program, college dual enrollment and access to courses (including
online courses) in the State University System. Students can
matriculate credits towards an A.A. or A.S degree while still enrolled
in high school. |
| Elementary schools are designing plans to increase options for
students to accelerate via virtual school course work and unique
environments for supporting both full-time and part-time virtual
access. The goal is to provide flexibility and meet individual student
needs. |
| Through these options, Seminole County students will experience a
rigorous academic, individualized and flexible learning experience that
best accommodates their individual needs, while participating in an
array of extracurricular activities, performing arts, visual arts and
athletic teams – The Triple A Experience! |  |
