Accelerate Your School Launch Program

Online learning is the most affordable way for Christian educators to provide quality courses and qualified teaching to students. Sevenstar's partnership program is a proven way to offer biblically-integrated courses, academic credits, and secondary education in schools. Thirty states and more than half of the school districts in the United States now offer online courses and services and online learning is growing rapidly at 30% annually. According to Project Tomorrow, 30% of high school students in 2010 have taken an online course and 38% have expressed an interest in taking an online course. A partnership with Sevenstar provides the foundation for an online school division or school growth by attracting new students with online options.

Bypass Traditional Barriers

Many start-up schools cannot afford to begin a traditional program, which requires a hefty investment in staff, curriculum, and countless other items. A Sevenstar partnership is ideally suited to serve your school, providing a way to grow affordably with Christian instruction, biblically-integrated curriculum, and a customizable learning platform. It is like adding a new wing to your building - fully equipped to serve current needs as well as positioning your Christian school for the future.

Enhance your Flexibility

With a Sevenstar Partnership, every room can be a classroom. You have the freedom to offer multiple locations on campus, at home, or any other place with internet access. This allows schools to grow before they even need to build a facility.

Under the lecture teaching method, educators can only offer one course at a time in a classroom. This creates scheduling conflicts and student/teacher ratios which restrict the breadth of curriculum offerings. With a Sevenstar Partnership, however, a single computer lab can be the portal to multiple subjects. In fact, any location with Internet access becomes the classroom.

In an age when information and communication technology skills are so critical, it is unlikely that student learning will continue to be based solely on print textbooks and face-to-face classes conducted in 50-minute increments. Online education teaches the 21st century skills of collaboration, resource sharing, content development, and digital learning.

Fully Online or Blended Learning

Educators and parents frequently associate online learning with distance learning or a correspondence school through the Internet, but online learning also supports blended learning, an instructional approach which takes advantage of the best elements of digital curriculum and classroom learning. The advent of learning that combines online and face-to-face delivery is not new; it has been used effectively by schools throughout the world for more than a decade. While some schools call this method of teaching "blended", others call it hybrid, and others do not name it—they just implement an approach they believe helps their students.
