CCS Connects: Learning Beyond Our Walls
We are excited about expanding our course offerings
by
partnering with Sevenstar Academy and Lincoln Interactive for online
course options.
Online Education
Online options will not replace traditional classroom instruction. We
believe that the optimal environment for learning is within a community
that promotes interpersonal relationships and engagement with others.
However, circumstances do arise when students could benefit from the
flexibility and diversity of online learning opportunities.
All online courses are subject to the approval of the CCS
administration. As a rule, courses may not be taken in place of courses
currently offered at CCS.
Identified Providers
Online learning opportunities at CCS are made possible by partnering
with two established online providers:
Sevenstar Academy, our primary partner, offers
Christian curriculum and teaching that complements our mission as a
Christian organization. Sevenstar Academy has demonstrated a
commitment to providing the
strongest possible curriculum for students. Their courses meet the
highest levels of education and require critical thinking, analysis, and
synthesis. Sevenstar Academy is accredited by the National Private
School Accreditation Alliance. See the
Sevenstar Course Description Guide.
Lincoln Interactive partners with a variety of schools
including PA Cyber School to provide online courses. They are not a
Christian organization but their curriculum is carefully crafted by
experienced educators to meet national standards. All instructors are PA
certified. They provide options that are not currently available through
Sevenstar Academy. See the
Lincoln Interactive
Course Offerings.
Scheduling/Computer Use
The online delivery of these courses will offer flexibility in
scheduling. Students will be able to designate one of their free periods
for their online course and will complete their course work at a CCS
computer during the school day. Students should be aware that online
courses will also require work outside of the school day using the
student’s home computer. Students may choose to bring their own laptop
with approval from the school.
Supervision
Each student will be assigned an Online Course Advisor from the CCS
faculty. The advisor will give oversight to the student’s progress and
give direction to the online process.
Both online partners provide resources for student support such as instructor office hours, email accessibility and opportunities for interaction with the instructor.
