Edgenuity Classes

Edgenuity, is a nationally renowned company that provides excellent middle and high school level virtual education courses.  Parents have been very satisfied with the quantity and quality of the content, including instruction by "live" teachers.  You may view class descriptions at the Edgenuity website.  Simply select Michigan and electives for a list of classes and their descriptions.  As soon as your student has completed their virtual requirement they are free to choose any of the core classes to complete at their convenience.  All classes are set to a semester in length.

First time users:  We recommend you watch an orientation video before starting your class.  This will help you understand how the program works and introduce you to all the features Edgenuity has to offer. Many of the Edgenuity courses offer prescriptive testing.  You will have a quiz at the beginning of each section.  If the student does well enough on the quiz, Edgenuity will actually let them bypass an entire section.  Why make them sit through a lecture if they already know the material?  If you do poorly, and score a 10% or something, don't worry, Edgenuity will replace your 10% with a better grade after you do the lesson and take the quiz.  The prescriptive testing grade is not permanent, so don't worry.  Occasionally a student will need to retake a quiz or test.  The program default is two attempts.  Email Tina Kohler at ckohler@homeoftheshamrocks.org for resets.
