How Do I Get In?
Students
must apply
to enroll in
JEDI Virtual School. The annual application period is February 1 – April 30 each year to be considered for enrollment for the next school year. Perspective students, both resident and non-resident, should work with their school guidance counselor and/or parents to determine if on-line learning is the right educational venue. A helpful worksheet, “What Makes a Successful On-line Student” is available on the website. If JEDI is right, complete the APPLICATION FORM found on our website. The form will be submitted to the JEDI VFuirtual School Office. Students will be accepted based on availability. The student and school counselor will be notified via email of the enrollment status by May 15 of each year. If more students apply than there are available slots, students will be placed on a waiting list and notified as openings become available.
Applications will be accepted after the April 30 deadline, with placement pending available openings. Applicants should work with school counselors and complete the application process noted above. The application form should be submitted to the JEDI Office.
How do I Enroll?
Once a student is notified that the application has been accepted, a meeting will be scheduled with the student, parent, resident school counselor and a JEDI representative. An Enrollment Form will be completed, and this team will design the student Personal Education Plan. Course requests will be submitted for the courses selected. A follow-up meeting will be scheduled for the learning coach to meet with the student and parent(s) at the learning site to review the on-line tutorial and course orientations.
What Will it be Like?
Following the tutorial and orientation, students taking on-line classes will go to the website provided by the course provider. The course provider issues a user name and a password to be used when accessing the coursework. Students may study as many consecutive hours per day and days per week as they want. Some students use an accelerated pace and complete their credits quickly, while others use a regular pace
to complete their courses. Student coursework results can readily be accessed by a parent, JEDI representative and the learning coach. This provides an opportunity to help monitor student progress and give encouragement for a job well done.
