There are many different ways that we teach our children academics. As parents, we each have our own preference and while some parents rave over private and public schools, others prefer not to send their kids to a physical school. Instead these parents decide to allow their child to learn a bit more unconventionally, at an online school. I know, you’re probably thinking “they won’t form relationships like in traditional schools”, but that isn’t necessarily true. At Provost Academy, relationships matter and they connect students with peers and mentors. They also give kids an opportunity to grow and be social. The staff works hard to take a one on one approach to teaching, creating caring and lasting relationships with their students. At Provost Academy, they believe that learning is better achieved together, rather than alone. So your student will have an entire network of people in the corner.
Provost Academy works to connect students to a social circle who share the same goals, aspirations and plans for their future so that they can support one another. Students are also able to connect with professionals, so that they can learn things in their field of interest. Best of all, your diploma counts at Provost Academy because it is an Accredited school! That means that colleges and the military will accept your diploma.
Provost Academy is definitely My UnVirtual School Idea because they’re aiming to put social experiences right into the virtual learning experience. They serve grades 6-12 in Ohio and grades 9-12 in Colorado and South Carolina. Further more, since Provost Academy is a public school, there is no cost to enroll!
The teachers, advisors and administrators work closely together to challenge students to do their best. They want to do their part to inspire students to work towards a great future. They also encourage the sharing of ideas, thoughts and suggestions on ways to get more social in an online school because your opinions and ideas matter to them.
Personally, I like the idea of online schools because not everyone learns in the same way. For instance, I learn better on my own, in quiet solitude, rather than in a room full of people. I happen to do my best work and the creative juices start flowing when I’m all alone, with no one to interrupt me or make me lose focus.
Provost Academy wants to hear your #MyUnVirtualSchool ideas. They want to know how you think an online school can be more social. I’d suggest an online forum or group so that students can ask questions, share ideas or just interact. I’ve met some pretty awesome people and created lasting friendships through these methods!
What ideas do you have on how an online school can be more social?
