They have a teacher assigned for each class who grades their assignments and is available for the students to check in with in case they have any questions. All the content is pre-recorded.
Imagine Edgenuity teachers are all certificated in Washington State.
Students in Secondary also have one synchronous class called Academic Seminar. This course is credit-bearing and co-taught by two Bellevue School District teachers. Students participate in social-emotional learning, study skills, community-building activities, goal setting and global competency lessons. The purpose of this course to help students feel connected with other Discovery students and staff and to equip students with skills to be successful online learners.
