How does Arizona online middle school work?

How it Works
During the day, students participate in scheduled, live online classes from wherever they have an internet connection. Students work offline to complete subject and skill-level related assignments. These assignments can be completed independently, in small groups of peers, or with the assistance of their Learning Coach—usually a parent or another responsible adult who gives support and guidance to the student.
