Aoba to open new e-Learning high school

Aoba-Japan International School (A-JIS) will open a new e-Learning high school in September 2011.

The A-JIS e-Learning High School — “a new way to learn” — will encompass grades 10 through 12 and work in conjunction with a number of e-learning institutions in the United States to provide a wide range of possible programs and courses for students. Through these programs, A-JIS will be able to tailor each student’s high school experience to ensure that they are able to attend the university of their choice.

All students will participate in online and classroom components of the program that will lead to both an A-JIS high school diploma as well as a diploma from a high school in the United States.

One of the truly exciting components of the program will be that students will have the opportunity to take college courses through the A-JIS program. Students will be able to receive high school credit as well as college credit for concurrent courses that A-JIS will offer.

Students will also have the opportunity to complete AP and honours courses, enabling them to sit AP exams, and be eligible for university credit for concurrent courses and AP exams. For more information call 03-3335-6724.
