Things are a bit different here at Broadview Academy. We still have students register for classes, yes. They also get transcripts with typical classes (Geometry, Chemistry, English, etc.) and grades (A, B+, etc.) when you graduate. However, what's in the middle is very different.
Courses, much like other schools, have content. However, here are Broadview, the content, skills, or tasks for courses are divided into competencies. Competencies then allow for an amazingly flexible program and thus individual student growth. Students may use a variety of methods* to achieve competencies; work may be done in or out of school. When students complete their work, they have an artifact -- tangible evidence to document learning. This is what documents each experience into academic language.
At Broadview Academy our students can receive recognition for the highest levels of achievement. The type and quality of the experience is determined by each individual student. It's up to you. The more you put in, the more you get out of it.
* Methods: Projects, computer-based learning, videos, field trips, readings, workshops, classes, independent study, etc.
