Online Learning Guide for Current Students

The Hybrid Learning and Long-Term Independent Study programs at The School of Arts and Enterprise allow students to have more flexible options for taking their required courses. Both programs require administrative approval before students can begin. Students who participate in these programs are eligible to participate in any in-person events and after-school extracurricular activities at The SAE including gallery exhibitions, performances, and school dances.

Online Learning at The School of Arts + Enterprise

All students who participate in our Hybrid Learning or Long-Term Independent Study programs will complete their online coursework on a platform called Imagine Edgenuity.

How does it work?

  • Parent/Guardian must submit an online request.
  • A member of our counseling team will reach out to you via phone / email for more details about your circumstances and to figure out which program is best for your student.
  • Upon approval:
    • Complete an Independent Study Agreement
    • Complete online orientation with our Independent Study Coordinator.
    • Student will receive a “start date” for their new program.
  • Log in regularly to complete academic coursework. Students are able to work whenever is most convenient for them, but they must show progress every week and complete their courses by the end of the semester.

  • Students must attend their in-person classes until their new program has officially been approved and they receive a start date for online learning.
  • Students are responsible for logging into Imagine Edgenuity at least once a week and making meaningful progress toward completion of the assigned courses.
    • Students who do not produce satisfactory progress or proof of completed work will be required to return to full-time in-person instruction.
  • Students who take History, Math, or Science courses online are able to participate in after-school tutoring in-person if needed. Students who take English, Spanish, or other courses will need to reach out to their teacher-of-record for online tutoring options.
  • Students can participate in all school-wide activities, but are subject to the same academic and attendance requirements as all other students at the school.
