ACCESS

ACCESS Distance Learning (Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators, and Students Statewide) is an education initiative of the Alabama Department of Education. It provides opportunities and options for Alabama public high school students to engage in Advanced Placement (AP), elective, and other courses to which they may not otherwise have access.This program offers many new experiences in rural areas where teachers and supplies might be limited. Through video conferences, outside student connections, and other forms of teaching, students can be exposed to new methods of learning. This creates a different environment that will provide success in the future. It allows for more advanced classes to be offered in the school system and to further educate students before entering the college level. Students learning in the access program are taught by well certified teacher from the state of Alabama.

This program is an incredible experience for high school students. Having exposure to online courses helps to prepare the students for future college courses. It also helps the student to start to take learning to a new level and take responsibility for his or her self.
