The courses offered are at Standard level and meet the California State Standards. Upon successful completion, the student will receive five credits per class, unless otherwise noted. Students take courses via the APEX online learning system, completing assignments at home and taking tests in our Learning Center. Each student meets with a credentialed teacher periodically in the Learning Center, by appointment. Some courses are available using the online APEX system.
