Independent Study -What is it
?
-
Independent Study
is an alternative form of education that specializes
in personalized learning to better meet the pace,
ability and interests of the student. Personalized
Learning provides an accommodating educational setting
for students who, due to complicated life and/or
school situations, do not find optimal success in
their studies on the traditional campus.
Independent Study -What's in it for the Student
?
Independent Study
. . .
-
provides an alternative educational opportunity
for the student who has ceased participating
in the educational process or who is unable to
function at his/her highest potential in the
traditional schooling process.
-
provides point of reentry for the student who has
left the traditional school process
-
focuses on the individual educational needs of
students who, because of personal, family, or
financial situations, find themselves excluded
from the opportunities of the traditional school.
-
provides for individualized diagnostic academic
assessment and course selection for each student.
-
accommodates the needs of the student who is at-risk
of being completely lost to and alienated from
the large group processes common to many high school
campuses.
Vista Real Charter High School
recognizes that not all students learn at the same
pace and offers the option to study only one course
at a time.
-
continues the education of the student who is 18
years of age or older and who has not completed
graduation requirements. Independent Study honors
the student's struggle to interact successfully
with six or more teachers in a day and provides
the student with one supervising teacher who oversees
all of the student's learning activities.
-
Independent Study suits the time schedule of students
who must meet the responsibilities of family obligations.
-
Independent Study considers the potential of each
student and is often the answer to providing a
stable educational environment for youth who have
made wrong or immature choices and are no longer
permitted to attend the traditional campus with
its multiple distractions and opportunities to
repeat the same mistakes.
-
Independent Study gives the student individual access
to a highly qualified credentialed faculty.
-
provides the opportunity for a student who needs
to be employed to continue progressing toward graduation.What's
in it for the student?
-
is a path back for the student who is behind in credits
to rejoin his/her class on the traditional campus.
Independent Study--- What's in it for the Parents
?
-
provides a quiet, controlled and safe environment
for your child to attend school.
-
allows you to spend more time with your child and
to have a greater impact in his/her life.
-
you know every week how well your child has performed
academically? This gives you the opportunity to
intervene immediately in the event your child's
achievement falls below your expectations.
-
allows you to know where your child is and allows
you to more closely monitor the people with whom
he/she associates.
-
accommodates the learning speed of your child. The
typical student takes only one class at a time
and he/she can take as much time as needed to complete
the assignment.
-
gives your child the opportunity to work with just
one supervising teacher instead of six or more.
This allows for the teacher to more fully understand
the learning strengths and weaknesses of your child
and for the teacher to customize the lessons to
meet your child's needs.
-
invites you to sit in on the registration and the
orientation session with your child. This allows
you to more fully understand the school's expectations.
