These summer online courses encourage students entering grades 9-12 to pursue their passions and connect with classmates and a teacher from many different schools, all while not being tied to a single location. Designed to cover the same material and be as rigorous as our semester and yearlong courses, GOA summer courses are teacher-paced, mostly asynchronous online courses that focus on students applying course concepts to relevant, real world issues. Students should anticipate a significant amount of active learning: conducting interviews, engaging their location and community, doing research, and collaborating on projects. While these courses are online, students do not spend all of their work time looking at a computer. Schedule: Monday, June 18-Friday, August 3 (seven weeks) GOA courses are both interactive (students will be required to log in multiple times a week to participate in discussions and collaborate on projects) and intensive (students should anticipate spending 10-12 hours a week on coursework, including a weekly video chat). Courses Offered: GOA classes are small (no more than 20 students), mostly asynchronous online courses designed so students can explore topics they care about in new ways, all while building relationships with a teacher and classmates. Students should anticipate engaging the course multiple times a week, sometimes daily, including a weekly video chat with teacher and classmates.
