Note: Students who choose to take an in-person class may also be able to register for an online class that occurs in the afternoon or is self-directed. It is important that students who choose to take an in-person and online class take transportation home into consideration so they can effectively attend their online class. Class dates are:

• 5-Credit Classes July 4–29

Live-Online (Synchronous): All courses will be offered in a synchronous online format (except for CALM and HCS3000). Attendance is mandatory. Students must attend the whole duration of the online class period. This will mirror the in-class experience as much as possible. Class hours and dates are:

Note: Once registration opens students may request registration in up to 10 credits (i.e. a 5-credit a.m. and a 5-credit p.m. class).

Self-Directed (Asynchronous): Select courses will be offered in a self-directed (asynchronous) format. In these courses there are mandatory “check-ins” that students must attend with their teachers at various intervals in the course. Students will complete lessons and assignments on their schedule within the 5-credit July 4–29 window or 3-credit July 4–19 window. 

To qualify for registration in the self-directed (asynchronous) courses a student must have completed Grade 12 in June of 2022 and/or are upgrading as a current CCSD student and are born after September 1, 2001. 

Previous exposure to the topic of study and independent work habits are strongly recommended. Students that apply to register for self-directed (asynchronous) classes may be contacted by school administration to verify their criteria. The exceptions to this are:

• CALM and HCS3000 which are offered to graduated and non-graduated CCSD students in a self-direct (asynchronous) format.
