Peru Central School Online High School

Overview

The purpose of PeruCSD ONLINE High School is to offer to students an alternative path to obtaining a high school diploma and/or credit for high school coursework. The curriculum will continue to prepare students for post-secondary education and the workforce. At the same time, online coursework gives students the opportunity to explore technology as a tool for learning.

The online courses will follow the same general timeline as the traditional courses, with required academic progress and contact with a Peru teacher on a weekly basis. In addition, students must complete the course requirements independently by specific due dates. Because of the nature of online courses, it is important that the student understands the requirements and commits the time and energy needed to complete the work successfully.
