Georgia Charter School Taps Blended Learning Provider for Curriculum, Virtual Instructional Services
Atlanta's Graduation Achievement Charter High School (GACHS) will deploy
curriculum from a provider of blended learning tools for more than 2,000 students.
The virtual public charter school aims "to provide historically underserved students with a flexible and highly individualized virtual
school experience," according to a news release.
The school settled on curriculum from Edgenuity, which will also be providing
instructional services offered by state-certified
virtual instructors.
In addition to instructors and curriculum, the company will provide real-time progress and performance data, concept coaches for on-demand
tutoring, success coaches for counseling of fully online students and an on-site mentor.
"As a virtual school, GACHS prides itself on identifying and offering top-quality online curriculum and instruction to our students," said
Monica Henson, superintendent and CEO at GACHS, in a prepared statement. "Edgenuity was the perfect fit for GACHS because its Instructional
Services offering provides best-in-class online instruction, remediation and motivation, ensuring that our unique student body will receive the
personalized help they need, when they need it."
