Distance Learning East Allen County Schools is committed to offering the most rigorous curriculum and course offerings to our high school students while still remaining within our financial constraints. To that end, we offer to each of our high school students the opportunity to enroll in any East Allen County Schools high school course through Distance Learning. Students who want to participate in a Distance Learning course (an approved course not taught at their home school) will obtain approval from the building principal and enroll in the course through the guidance department. The method of instruction for these courses is video conferencing. Course offerings are subject to sufficient enrollment. Some Fine Arts and Family and Consumer Courses are not able to be taught through distance learning.

“Our mission is to inspire in all students a passion for learning while developing knowledge, skills, and character necessary to become responsible contributors to the local and global society.”

ADVANCED PLACEMENT COURSES AND COLLEGE COURSES Students are encouraged to complete as many high level courses as possible. Along with advanced placement courses, 11th and 12th graders may enroll in dual credit college courses.

COURSE CHANGE POLICY Students may only change courses during the designated time period prior to the start of the school year. Changes after the start of school will be considered because of administrative error and/or 12th graders needing a course change to achieve graduation requirements. Also, if 11th or 12th grade students have a conflict because of college courses in their schedule, students may adjust their schedules to enable their enrollment in college courses. However, if the student wants to drop and add another course while taking a college course and there is no time conflict, the student request is denied. If a student, because of illness or accident, is unable to continue a class, a change may be approved. A doctor’s note will be required. (Example: broken bone in P.E.)
