Class.com Provides Curriculum for Phoenix Union Cyber High School

August 10, 2005

“Class.com is proud to partner with Phoenix Union in establishing a truly original model of high school education that puts students first and ensures that all students can learn in the ways that work best for them,” said Class.com CEO Katherine Endacott. “The new Cyber High School is a great example of how schools can differentiate instruction while taking advantages of electronic curriculum and increased flexibility.”

The Cyber High School will initially serve around 135 students, who will take core courses aligned to state standards from certified teachers. Students earn credit toward a PUHSD diploma in a flexible, student-centered environment. Students work on courses at school in their first year of enrollment and in flexible locations thereafter, receiving individual guidance from local teachers.

“Students who attend our school benefit from flexible sessions, individualized teacher interaction, and a technology-based curriculum, said Mike Babb, the school’s director. “Web-based curriculum enables access from any computer with Internet access, at any time of day. Teachers direct student progress, engage students in class and individual discussions, grade student work, and provide guidance and supervision. We help students who are looking for new ways to achieve their goals, graduate, and prepare for the future.”
