"Lincoln Interactive courses bring lessons to life for students - especially students who are interested in learning more than just what is required by standardized competency exams. In a more interconnected and competitive world, broadening the learning opportunities for students is critical," explained Dr. James A. Budzilek, District Superintendent from Leechburg Area school district, which has been offering Lincoln Interactive Courses to its students since 2006.
The 250 + online, self-paced semester courses (basic and advanced) serve the needs of a variety of different students interested in accelerated courses, expanded curriculum options, alternative education, credit recovery, special education, or simply to learn from the safety of their own home.
"Before partnering with the National Network of Digital Schools, we struggled to meet the needs of our students and they were repeatedly failing to move on to the next grade," Kathy Ballard, Douglas Unified School District. "Now we can personalize each student's education and select courses that allow our kids to reach their fullest potential."
The National Network of Digital Schools includes a diverse group of 200 traditional brick and mortar public schools, charter schools and cyber charters schools from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Connecticut, West Virginia, Michigan, Florida, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Georgia.
"At NNDS we are dedicated to utilizing highly-trained and committed staff to individualize educational strategies that empower students, teachers, and school administrators to succeed," added Bown.
