What is Concurrent Enrollment?

  • Students currently enrolled at a "brick and mortar" campus may opt to take courses online in addition to their normal class load. This is called concurrently enrolling, since the student would be enrolled at GPS Global Academy in addition to their home GPS school. 

    The work for these classes generally takes place outside of normal school hours, but students can choose when and where they wish to work. 

    All decisions regarding distance learning should be discussed with your campus counselor. These courses are not for everyone!

    Note: Our courses are not accessible from outside the United States. 

Is Online Learning For Me?

  • Is Online Learning For Me?

    Online learning is not for everyone, but if you can answer YES to the following questions, online learning may be for you:

    • Do I enjoy being a self-taught learner?
    • Do I enjoy reading and doing assignments from a computer?
    • Do I have 1-2 hours a day to spend working on my course?
    • Am I motivated to get my school work done on time?

Course Information

  • Course information
    • These classes will be student-led, meaning that the student will set the pace of learning and the teacher will facilitate in the background -- grading work and providing feedback and support. 
    • Students will be provided 18 weeks to complete their course and take their final exam. They may choose to work ahead and finish sooner if they wish.
    • There are no required live classes, but students must work to stay on pace.
    • Students should expect to spend at least 5 hours per week working on their coursework.

Payment Information

  • Payment Information
    • Instructions on how to pay for the online course will be emailed to the parent once the counselor has approved the course request.
    • There will be a $200 tuition fee for each additional course above the district-provided maximum of 6 courses. 
    • For students living out of state, the fee amount is $2,500 per semester class. Families with ESA vouchers who wish to enroll a student will also pay the $2,500 per class fee.
    • Payment will be accepted using the InTouch payment system using a debt or credit card or by Cashier's Check/Money Order. This system is available via a link in the Infinite Campus parent portal.
    • If a course fee is required, Global Academy will not enroll the student into the class until the fee is paid.
