Edgenuity Debuts Suite of Career, Elective Courses

Blended and online learning provider Edgenuity has launched a new suite of career and elective courses.

Available via the company's Instructional Services, the courses are designed to offer students the ability to pursue their own areas of interest in topics not typically found in high schools and ranging from social media to archaeology. Other courses in the new suite include:

  • Culinary arts;
  • Forensic Science;
  • Personal and Family Finance;
  • Public Speaking; and
  • World Religions.

"With a greater variety of career and elective courses we can personalize the learning experience even further, supporting every student's unique needs and interests while keeping them engaged in school," said Sari Factor, Edgenuity CEO, in a prepared statement. "It's more important than ever to prepare today's students for career and lifelong success. Through this type of instruction, students can take the first step towards their futures at a pace and style that works best for them."
