Dear teachers and students,

It has been two weeks since the Distance Learning Program initiated the new school year and we have been busy getting students registered. If you were our student last semester, please contact the office so we can get you started at (210) 397-7562. This year both new and returning students must attend orientation in order to participate in the program. This week will be the last dates we will offer orientation sessions for October. We are eager to assist you in achieving your goals and making this school year a success.

Is Distance Learning for you?

Distance learning is not for every student. It requires the learner to be responsible for completing coursework and assignments in a timely manner without the instruction of a teacher. Students must have basic computer skills and knowledge.
