BEST Skills Academy High School Program is a Hybrid Learning Model that provides:
BEST Skills Academy’s interactive online classes are the foundation of student learning. Each student receives a personalized learning plan and corresponding courses that are tailored to their academic goals and individual aptitude. All classes are taught interactively by highly qualified and credentialed teachers. On-site educational mentors provide flexible and adaptive face-to-face support using small-group instruction, group projects, and individual tutoring. Educational mentors motivate and teach students how to succeed in high school while also preparing them for the rigors of college.
BEST Skills Academy has partnered with Odyssey Online Learning to create a modern alternative hybrid learning model for high school students. Odyssey Online Learning is a South Carolina online charter school.
Ideal candidates may include:
Discontented Students:
Parents and students who have experienced concerns and frustrations with traditional public schools. They may be unable to afford private school and have few other non-traditional options. Parents and the staff at BEST work together to help the student achieve their goals and succeed in their education. Students are not left behind and are able to learn at a pace that is suited to them. These students may not be feeling seen or heard in their current situation. At BEST we work with our students to make sure they are getting the support and guidance that they need in order to succeed in a positive and motivating environment.
Home-Schooled Students:
Parents and students who enjoy the flexibility and customization of home school but miss the daily socialization enjoy the structure of the BEST Virtual Program. Home School parents maintain flexibility and oversight while giving their students the accountability and structure that our educational mentors can provide. Parents are able to supplement their student’s learning with our curriculum as they see fit.
Dual Enrollment Students:
Students who want to get an early start in college can participate in Dual Enrollment. BEST can guide students through high school and college courses simultaneously. Our online program provides students the opportunity to partner with Greenville Tech. This allows students to earn high school and college credit at the same time. These students have the flexibility to take their college classes online or in person.
Student-Athletes:
Today, student-athletes are more driven and focused on achieving their athletic goals, whether their goal is a college athletic scholarship or aspirations of becoming a professional in their sport. Our condensed school day along with the flexibility to accommodate travel schedules, allows students to focus on both school and training without hindering their academic performance.
