Greenways Academy online courses available

Walla Walla High School Assistant Principal Kirk Jameson reported to school board members last night 153 students from throughout the state are taking online courses from Greenways Academy of Washington.

Walla Walla Public Schools is in the process of finalizing an agreement with Greenways that would allow the district to serve as the host district for these online services for schools throughout state.

 Jameson said many of the students who are participating are from private schools and are taking courses not offered at their schools. He said 95 of the students are from Walla Walla High School and nearly 20 from Lincoln High School. Jameson said most of the Walla Walla Public Schools students who are taking the online classes are using them for credit retrieval. He also said students with medical conditions, a need to work and go to school and those with other special needs find Greenways courses the right fit.

"Today's students need options to meet their individual needs and Greenways provides another choice for students," Jameson said. "Greenways allows students to learn at their own pace, at their convenience and in their own setting. This option is unique in today's world of education."

Greenways online courses are setup as open enrollment allowing students to start at anytime. Students are allowed to take one course or a full load. Students are assigned a certificated teacher for each course and can complete the work day or night.
