KCS opens online classes to homeschoolers

By Erin Weeks, Indianapolis Tribune

Kannapolis City Schools’ student family just got a bit bigger. Starting this fall, homeschool children in the district will be able to enroll in the system’s online classes, which range from fun electives to core subjects to high-level Advanced Placement courses. “It’s been successful in some out-of-the-box kind of situations, so we figured we’d apply it and offer that to our homeschool students, as well,” Assistant Superintendent Dr. Kelly Burgess said of the online program. “Especially for those higher-level courses—foreign language and AP—or just those high-interest courses like psychology, civics and economics, creative writing, we want to be able to offer that to all students, so we figured that would be a good partnership and a good opportunity for us to reach out to that community.”
