Apex courses are semester long courses. They require the same dedication of learning time as a classroom course. Students will spend nearly 90 hours, plus homework time, in a course.

Online classes are not a shortcut to credit. Dedicated, intensive, independent learning is required.

Apex classes must be completed within the time frame of the school semester, unless the student is paying for the course. The last day for fall 2016 Apex classes is January 26, 2017.

Apex courses must be completed before the last day of the semester. All written assignments and unit tests must be completed prior to taking the final tests during the semester.

What to do

• A complete registration includes counselor, student, and parent signatures, on the two-sided form.

• Orientation attendance is required of all new students and parents.
