The path to graduation does not look the same for every high school student. That’s why Edgenuity’s online solutions can help students close learning gaps, recover credits, and meet graduation requirements. Courses can also help advanced students explore career interests, earn dual credits, and pursue Advanced Placement® options. Regardless of the path students take, Edgenuity can help to engage and motivate students, as they prepare for future success.
Your high school student will receive a varied education that meets all standards while providing flexibility, added options for enrichment learning, and extra support when needed.

Edgenuity Course Guide
Agriculture and Technology On-Site Educational Days – Active Participation Days (APD)
The IATS educational curriculum is a blended model, combining required online course work with interactive hands-on agricultural and technology education lessons. This is a combination of on-site campus activities and various educational experiences at organizations throughout the state. (i.e., Becks Seeds, Caterpillar, livestock operations, orchards, and other natural resource experiences). If as student signs up to participate in the Active Participation Days on our campuses, students must be in attendance on a regular basis and cannot miss more than three (3) days. If you are not going to attend your scheduled APD due to an illness or scheduled outside appointment, you must notify the teacher at that campus location of your absence.
If a student misses more than three (3) APD unexcused per semester, the school reserves the right to remove the student from the APD and place them in our virtual academic program.
School does not provide transportation to the farm campus for APD or for any field trips away from the farm campus. Lunch is not provided. Students must bring their own lunch. Students are not allowed to leave the farm campus at any time during the APD.
