An individualized course of study (including assessments, grades, and transcripts) will be built for each student upon acceptance. Courses will be chosen based on eligibility requirements, need, interests, and learning styles. School loads can adapt to accommodate training and travel schedules. A condensed school day demands self-direction and time management skills as well as the ability to meet deadlines and complete outside work. All students will be expected to meet these criteria. An application and interview process determines acceptance.
