Online School Curriculum Provides High School Students with Skills for College and Career
SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Giant Campus (www.giantcampus.com), a nationally recognized leader in innovative technology education programs for youth and adults, today announced the release of five new online high school courses focused on technology and business innovation. As part of the Giant Campus licensing program, educational organizations across the United States can license the new curriculum for use in their online high school programs.
“Our licensing program is an effective way for schools to offer relevant courses that are not typically available for high school students”
The new courses include:
- Audio Engineering
- Digital Arts
- Introduction to Entrepreneurship
- Introduction to Marketing
- Green Design and Technology
“Our licensing program is an effective way for schools to offer relevant courses that are not typically available for high school students,” said Giant Campus Founder and CEO Pete Findley. “There is an increasing demand for technology and business education in our nation’s high schools. Students want to gain these skills before they start college or begin a career, and these courses provide students with that opportunity.”
Giant Campus is the nation’s leading provider of technology courses to educational providers, including online schools such as K12, Insight, Kaplan, Pearson Virtual Learning and Louisiana Virtual School. Each course is supported by instructor training and a comprehensive set of instructor materials, including project grading rubrics, pacing guides, answer keys and course guides. Additionally, Giant Campus’ certified instructors are available for providers to use if needed. The courses are designed to meet the needs of the 10.5 million U.S. students who, according to a recent estimate by educational consultant Ambient Learning, are expected to take an online class by 2014.
These new licensed courses are also available through two online schools operated by Giant Campus:
- Giant Campus Academy – online classes taught by Giant Campus instructors where students around the world can earn a high school degree or take classes a la carte
- Giant Campus of Washington – online classes taught by Giant Campus instructors where Washington state students can earn a high school diploma for free or take individual classes
