Enrollment for innovative public high school in Cleveland opens for the 2014-2015 school year

Nexus Academy of Cleveland has opened enrollment for the 2014–15 school year and will host a series of online and in-person information sessions for prospective parents and students to learn about the new blended high school currently serving Cleveland area students. The school will also offer “shadow day” opportunities for interested students to observe firsthand the blended model for learning where students attend online classes at a state-of-the-art physical campus and follow an online curriculum.

 

Nexus Academy schools are public schools, tuition-free, and offer students a comprehensive college-preparatory high school experience including AP courses, foreign languages, core academics and more. Among the engaging electives offered is Juilliard eLearning, online music courses developed exclusively with the famed conservatory.

 “The blended learning model enables teachers and schools to quickly adapt to the needs of students who have lived a lifetime of obtaining and processing information using online resources,” said Brittiany Sanford, Principal at Nexus Academy of Cleveland. “For teachers, online technology better enables them to do what they do best, engage, motivate and inspire students on an individual level to learn.”

 

According to a parent satisfaction survey released last fall, 90 percent of parents with children enrolled in Nexus Academy gave the overall program an “A” or “B” grade, and 83 percent would recommend Nexus Academy to other parents. According to the survey, 80 percent of parents agree their students are making good progress at Nexus Academy and 95 percent say their students are satisfied with the program. Ninety-five percent of the parents agree that the curriculum is high quality and 91 percent say they are satisfied with the variety of learning activities provided by the program.
