Some of you may have just had a crash-course in online schooling. The end of the 2019-2020 school year looked a lot different for many students, teachers, and parents. Those who attended traditional schooling found themselves suddenly studying and teaching at home at the beginning of the year.
Thankfully, our students at Mountain Heights Academy had less of a, if any, learning curve when it came to online high school in 2020. It’s a model they’re familiar with, and one we have honed over the years. Our online charter school is accredited on par with other public high schools in Utah. So while virtual schooling may have presented challenges initially, we believe it can be done well.
Online Schooling 2020
There is a lot of uncertainty regarding what schooling will look like for Utah students in the fall of 2020. Public schools are looking at the very best methods to employ to ensure both teachers and students have a successful school year, regardless of where they learn. Thankfully, Mountain Heights online charter school can take a lot of guesswork out of what online schooling in 2020 will look like.
You can preview our curriculum now, helping your student know what to expect in the upcoming academic year. Doing high school online in Utah doesn’t have to be a confusing, stressful time for you or your student!
Is Virtual Schooling Just as Good?
Our teachers and educators have curated Open Source content, including Honors, AP, and concurrent enrollment options for high schoolers. This means students can work online at their own pace with the appropriate academic challenges. Teachers are required to hold virtual office hours so students can receive additional instruction as needed. This is a system we’ve always had in place, so no student feels left behind doing their online school.
Preparing Students Now
Although we all hope that our state and students find a new normal that works for them, the chances of going back to a traditional school in the same way as before are slim. We understand that the thought of your student being forced to receive an education from home can be stressful, to say the least. We believe that with proper preparation, parents and students can prepare themselves for successful learning in their own homes. This summer, remember to keep up with studies as much as possible. Create clear spaces for learning within your home. This way, if your student isn’t able to return to their physical classes in the fall, they will be mentally prepared to make the most out of their new situation, as well as find joy in it.

Regardless of whether or not students will physically be able to enter the classroom in the fall, they can rest assured they’re taken care of at Mountain Heights.
