By: EdisonLearning Parents and students seeking more information about PASC, and how to enroll, should visit the Web site: www.sc.provostacademy.com, or call: 877-919-PASC (7272) toll free. Provost Academy South Carolina is a new state-authorized public online school that is free of charge to residents of South Carolina, and offers high school students the choice of an engaging, adaptable and quality online learning experience. Students work toward their regular public high school diploma - recognized by colleges and employers - as they would in a traditional school, but in the convenient, safe environment of their own home through computer-based educational programs. “PASC provides the state of South Carolina with the resources it needs to take advantage of the growing popularity of online learning,” said Peter Brown, president of Colite International in Columbia and chairman of the Provost Academy South Carolina board. “In many cases, online learning offers a richer experience than students might find in a traditional classroom, through streaming video, podcasts, virtual classroom lessons, a greater variety of coursework, individual projects, on-demand tutoring and more.” In contrast to other online learning programs and traditional education settings, PASC uses a proprietary modular curriculum design, so courses are adapted to fit a student’s individual needs. Content can be rearranged and customized for individual learning paths based on testing and discussions with academic advisors and instructors. Further, students have clear, achievable goals in lessons each day, which allows them to focus, see accomplishment and stay motivated. Parents and students can easily see learning progress, assignments, and grades at a glance on their own personal home page. “Online learning goes beyond the computer and the internet connection to bring students, parents and educators together in a community that supports engaging educational opportunities,” Provost Academy South Carolina is backed by EdisonLearning, the nation’s largest partner to public school districts and communities, which brings to this learning opportunity deep experience with traditional brick and mortar schools and nearly two decades of providing quality achievement services to schools across the country.
