Ashley Munroe, a senior, may be sitting in the Westerly High School library, but she is studying a course that the high school does not offer: Mandarin Chinese. “I kind of want to go into political science, so Mandarin, I think, will help eventually with it, because I want to get into a place in government,” she says. Megan Sylvia, also a senior, has completed a course in mythology, and junior Margaret Crook is taking a course in marketing and e-commerce. Using distance learning, these students can take classes and exams and interact with teachers and other students without ever meeting them in person.
