Overview

The Blended Learning Program (BLP) is a comprehensive educational program that provides students access to courses in a virtual learning environment. Students will be expected to engage in both required, live Zoom synchronous instruction and asynchronous (independent) work sessions, as well as maintain satisfactory standing with attendance, class participation, and task completion.
The BLP student application for 2026 - 2027 is now available. The BLP is not Online Pathways To Graduation or Credit Recovery. It is a full-time alternative to attending in person classes and runs during the traditional school day hours.

BLP Student Skillset 

The BLP is geared towards students who possess a readiness for online learning. Student applicants should be digitally literate and proficient in aspects related to technology.  Students are expected to be independent in navigating and attending all required synchronous classes and completing asynchronous assignments.

Vision

Blended Learning Program approaches learning from a foundation of respect, empathy, and understanding for all students.  The program utilizes a trauma-informed, asset-based, and inclusive approach to instruction by intentionally creating safe and inclusive spaces for academic, social-emotional, and personal development.
