ROCK RAPIDS, Iowa, May 14 /Christian Newswire/ -- Alpha Omega Academy® (AOA), an accredited distance learning school for students in grades K-12, is pleased to announce the addition of Switched-On Online(tm) starting July 1, 2009. This modern, technology-based online curriculum reflects today's educational needs and provides AOA's students in grades 3-12 with an improved learning experience in Bible, history and geography, math, science, language arts, and a variety of electives.
Delivering the same award-winning, academic Christian content found in AOA's Switched-On Schoolhouse®, Switched-On Online provides lessons and activities with a more convenient, web-based learning environment. Alpha Omega Academy's faculty and staff encourage distance learning students and their families to take advantage of Switched-On Online's new and improved method for course delivery that includes these great advantages:
• No CDs or shipping fees
• Immediate startup without a cumbersome installation process
• Windows®, Macintosh®, or Linux-based operating system applications
• Internet accessibility to complete schoolwork anytime, anywhere
• Web-style navigation intuitive for today's students and parents
• Immediate curriculum updates without any downloads
• Pass threshold on lessons, so students master the information before advancing to the next assignment
• Project submission in various media formats like student-created videos or slide shows
Because the two curriculum formats are different, Alpha Omega Academy will refer to new Internet-based courses as Switched-On Online (SOO) and will reserve the term Switched-On Schoolhouse (SOS) for CD-ROM courses only. For more information on Switched-On Online and AOA's accredited distance learning academy, call 800-682-7396 or visit Alpha Omega Publications' website for students and families of AOA at www.aoacademy.com.
