Online Courses

Northland Pines High School always looks to provide an individualized education for its students. To make this happen there are times where alternatives to a traditional classroom curriculum maybe needed to meet the needs of students. Online classes is one alternative to meet student’s needs. Online classes have advantages for some students; however there are drawbacks that also have to be recognized. Please read carefully before discussing online options with the NPHS Counselors.

Northland Pines will consider offering an online class with the following criteria:
1. Northland Pines does not offer the class and the class meets a career goal or interest. This should be part of a student’s plan in their Academic and Career Plan (ACP).
2. The online class is discussed three (3) weeks before the start of a semester.
3. Online classes count and if dropped will be an F.
4. Online classes are meant to be just that, online, so students will need to complete them independently and use the resources provided by the class and not rely on a lot of support from teachers at NPHS.
5. Even though there is added expense to the district this cost is not passed along to the student or parent.
