Keep on track with pace charts for each of your courses
Although there is flexibility to complete assignments at any time within a semester, pace charts give you week by week targets, and keep you on pace to graduate. Every class has its own pace chart listing weekly assignments, readings, activities and assessments. Sticking to your pace chart will ensure a successful finish by the semester’s end. Prospective online learners can view a sample pace chart to see the level of activity a class typically requires. Although eAchieve Academy truly is a learn at your own pace online high school, middle and elementary school, we strongly recommend sticking to the pace chart to be sure you graduate on time with your diploma.

“My grades are important to me, so I wanted to try virtual learning. I was able to catch up the coursework that I missed and I really enjoyed the flexibility. It was such a positive experience that I decided to stay. The flexibility is both the best thing and most challenging. But it has helped me learn to manage my own time which will be important for college.”
