Odysseyware is an Internet based challenging curriculum for grades nine through twelve. Daily lessons are presented through online assignments with reading text within each lesson. Video clips, audio clips, animated examples and games, online labs, pictures, and links to access even more information are included throughout each unit. High school students complete daily assignments by answering questions about their lessons, writing reports, completing projects and experiments, and taking assessments to measure what they have learned through each unit of study.
Students can access the program anytime and anywhere they have access to the Internet. This provides a great deal of flexibility in learning schedules. For example, students, who might need additional time to complete a particular assignment, can take the time they need to do well before they begin in the next subject for the day. Students won't be rushed, or slowed down, due to other students or a bell ringing to move to the next class. Students complete their daily assignments online and are given feedback and guidance from their HVA teachers as needed. As students complete their daily assignments during each school day they are required to be available on Skype to communicate with teachers as needed during that time. Students should be ready to begin the school day by 8:30 am each scheduled day, and students need to continue to work on their assignments, including projects, during the periods their teachers are available.
The communication between the school staff and the family helps make this program very successful. Current research suggests that parental involvement is one key component to a student’s academic achievement. We have found this to be especially true for virtual students. It is important for the parents to be involved and be aware of what their child is completing each day in OW so the student stays on schedule. The most successful students are the ones that are held accountable at home each day with parents regularly checking the student's OW due date progress. It is also vital for parents to keep in regular communication with the HVA staff by regularly checking email messages, and also utilizing Skype when needed.

Family Involvement:
We believe that a collaborative relationship between the family and school is important for student success. Family participation, as a fundamental support system, along with regular communication between school and family are essential. Parents are encouraged to stay involved in their student's daily progress to help keep him or her accountable at home.
Application Process:
Our application process offers us an opportunity to enroll students who fit the profile of our program. We are looking for students who are self-motivated and self-disciplined.
