Gary Digital Academy (GDA), a tuition-free, full-time
public-school program of the Gary Community School Corporation, is
now accepting enrollment applications for the 2019-2020 school
year.
Now in its second year, GDA will offer students in kindergarten
through 9th grade a blended program where they will participate in
twice-weekly in-person instruction at the Gary Area Career Center.
The remainder of the week students will attend online instructional
sessions and complete learning activities online.
By combining innovative technology with a rigorous curriculum
led by Indiana-certified teachers, GDA aims to provide each student
with a pioneering blended education experience that meets their
needs and supports their academic goals.
Students in all grade levels will be required to attend all live
online and in-person class sessions and will take a full course
load across the core subjects of math, science, language arts, and
history. Middle School and high school students will also be
offered Career Readiness Educational exploratory courses to prepare
students for a career pathway that could lead to a career
certification upon graduation.
“The mix of online and in-person classes does a lot to assist
each student where they need to be supported the most,” said Rachel
Goodwin, GDA Head of School. “We provide wrap-around supports,
targeted services, and differentiated instruction with the goal of
developing well-rounded, self-motivated individuals who are in
charge of their own success.”
Classes are taught by Indiana-licensed teachers who provide
instruction during live online class sessions daily and during in
person sessions, and are available to students via phone, email,
in-person class sessions and one-to-one meetings. Advisors are also
assigned to students to provide wrap-around services as well as
ensure students have the resources needed to be successful in a
blended environment.
Outside of the virtual classroom, classes at the Gary Area
Career Center two days a week will allow students to further
develop connections with their teachers and classmates. Depending
on the type of supports needed for the student, additional on-site
days will be available. Throughout the year, field trips and social
outings will contribute to the sense of school community, and
virtual clubs and student organizations will give GDA students a
platform to further explore interests together in the online
setting.
Students enroll in online school for a variety of reasons,
including advanced learning, a bullying-free environment, and the
ability to balance their education with extracurricular pursuits or
medical needs. GDA’s blended approach with both online and
in-person instruction will give students a learning option that is
right for them.
GDA is accepting enrollment for the 2019-2020 school year. For
