Preparing our students for the twenty-first century is a high priority for us.In working toward developing programs that will meet the needs of our students, challenge them to reach their potential and explore areas of interest, Robinson School is launching a Distance Learning Program for students in grades 11th and 12th.Distance learning is a field of education that focuses on the pedagogy, technology, and instructional system designs that aim to deliver education to students who are not physically “on site” in a traditional classroom or campus.
This “virtual school” approach is used by some of the most prestigious private schools in the States to enhance the opportunities for their students to learn beyond the walls of school. We identified three different institutions that offer high school classes and have the same level of accreditation as Robinson. These also hold NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) accreditation. They are:
Through these institutions, Robinson School students will be exposed to the next generation of educational opportunities, work with classmates seven time zones away, interact with worldwide experts, and challenge themselves in new and exciting ways.
Students can take part in exciting courses such as Greek Mythology, Introduction to Digital Photography, Marine Biology, Art History, Citizenship, Introduction to Psychology, Government and Humanities Survey. Step out of the classroom and into the world!
