Unlike traditional classrooms, eSchool students are taught to mastery. “Our model is mastery based,” Glenn said. “(Students) learn from errors and correct them. (There’s) much more of a dialog with their teachers. We joke that every student has a front-row seat (to learning).” So far, the program has proven it can get the job done. With a 95 percent student success rate and a 95 percent parent and student satisfaction rate, Glenn is proud of what has been accomplished. While eSchool for middle and high school students has always offered the option for full-time or part-time online learning, blended with a regular school day, some changes are also on the horizon here. Online learning has become mandatory in the state of Florida. According to Glenn, students entering high school this year must complete at least one online class to graduate.
