Clarification on Gateway's virtual classes using GradPoint.
Attached
is the complete list of virtual classes offered at Gateway this year
for grades 6 - 12. We piloted the program with a few students last
year with success. You may choose from any of the classes offered.
Each student must have their own "seat." For this year, each seat is
$159 for the premium suite (core classes and electives) with an
additional charge for AP classes. If you are wanting only core classes
and no electives we may be able to lower the cost some, for instance
middle school core subjects only (no electives) would be $59. This cost
covers the online curriculum and there are no other books to
purchase.
You
are not required to physically attend any classes at Gateway to enroll
in the virtual classes. They are all completed at home. A face to
face meeting is highly recommended to make sure you understand how the
program works.
GradPoint
classes are a combination of Pearson Education classes, Florida Virtual
School classes, and a few independent companies. There are several
options available to the parents to individualize the program: Flex
classes allow the students to complete the class in any order.
Prescriptive classes provide a pre-test for the students to take and
adjust the homework according to scores on the pretest, which are not
counted in any grades, allowing students to progress through the course
focusing on material they are not as familiar with. Sequential classes
start at the beginning and work through the material systematically.
Many of the core classes give you these options when you enroll. You
will see these classifications on the course offering list.
Gateway's
tuition is minimal to cover administrating the program, which includes
grading and assistance as necessary to help you as and your student be
successful.

*Family
discounts available depending on classes - calculated on an individual
basis. (For instance: For GradPoint this year we are offering a 50%
discount for the 2nd student in the family with the 3rd student
receiving free tuition. Material fees and registration are not reduced
unless indicated. Additionally, this year the only registration cost is
the $10 student fee, as we have waived the individual class
registration.)
If you would like to see the classes, please call me and set up a time for a preview.
Additionally,
enrollment in the virtual program also includes the opportunities for
participation in co-op field trips, special events, or enrollment in
weekly co-op classes at Gateway, including our drama production second
semester. Students must adhere to Gateway's policies on these events.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
