How Global Village School Works

Global Village School is an accredited school based in southern California and founded in 1999. It is a distance learning program, which means that students study at home (or, in special cases, at learning centers). Students are in regular contact with their teachers. They send their work via regular mail or e-mail, and can also contact their teachers by phone (or meet in person if they live locally). Students take a regular course load and high school students earn credits toward a diploma. Transcripts are provided so that students can apply to colleges of their choice.

How does the Global Village program work?

Our standard school year runs from September to June. However, students can enroll at any time of the year and can continue working through the summer if they wish.

High school students are free to choose from Web-based or text-based courses; most people prefer to take some of each. Each year-long course is divided into thirty-six lessons. Semester-long courses are eighteen lessons. Students access their Web-based lessons by downloadng them from our password-protected Web site. Text-based courses are accompanied by a written study guide. Students receive credit when they have completed all the lessons. High school students are assigned a teacher for each course. They can correspond with their teachers via phone, mail, e-mail, fax, or in person if they live locally. Teachers are available to answer questions from students or parents.

Elementary students use text-based curriculum that covers the main subjects and have one teacher. They can correspond with their teachers via phone, mail, e-mail, fax, or in person if they live locally. Teachers are available to answer questions from students or parents.

Students are free to work at their own pace and to collaborate with their teachers to customize our high school or K-8 regular curriculum to match their unique interests and needs.

If you feel that your family needs completely customized curriculum please read about that option for high school and K-8. High school is designed to be completed in four years. Students who wish to accelerate their progress are free to do so.

The amount of teacher services you receive depends on the level of tuition you choose. Please view our high school and K-8 tuition options.
