Independent, online learning is a unique experience and may present several challenges to students and their families. Not all students have the same educational background, problem-solving skills, independent learning style, or ability to communicate effectively. Families need to consider the characteristics of an online learner before enrolling in the BASD Virtual Academy. In order for your child to meet with success in this mode of learning, please develop a plan of support for any areas that may be a challenge.
