About JEDI
JEDI Virtual School offers a comprehensive high school curriculum. The school was created by the nine school districts of the original JEDI Distance Education consortium: Cambridge, Deerfield, Fort Atkinson, Jefferson, Johnson Creek, Lake Mills, Marshall, Palmyra and Whitewater. The school is independently operated and uses emerging technologies to offer “live” on line instructional television and traditional courses creating a blended learning environment for students. The student learning site is selected by the student, and can be anywhere there is Internet access. The courses the student selects can be accessed any time because they are available 24 hours a day. Student will have a “Personal Educational Plan.” The plan will outline the courses the student will take, the optimum learning site, and the anticipated pacing of the courses. Student work will be monitored and assisted by a course instructor, a learning coach and a JEDI representative. Students can work toward receiving a JEDI/Cambridge High School diploma or a diploma from their local high school.
