Are you finding it difficult to motivate your students to remain engaged in their schoolwork? Are you looking for an innovative way to help them stay on track and reach their goals? Enrolling in online courses may be the answer. Online learning can provide students with a more accessible, flexible, and engaging learning experience that is tailored to their individual needs. By introducing the right tools and resources, these courses can help students stay motivated and inspired while still providing the same quality of education as traditional classrooms. In this blog post, we will explore how online courses can help motivate learners and give tips on how to get started with online education.

One of the most significant advantages of online courses is the increased personalization that it offers. Online course material can be tailored to fit each student’s individual needs and interests. This helps keep students engaged and motivated throughout the course, improving their overall performance. Additionally, some online courses allow students to work at their own pace, which gives them more control over their learning and allows them to progress in a way that works best for them.

Flexible scheduling is another perk of choosing an online school. With online courses, students can take classes whenever and wherever – making learning more accessible for learners who have conflicting schedules or geographical restrictions. Additionally, many online schools feature asynchronous learning approaches which give students access to lectures, assignments, and discussions at any time without having to worry about being in class during certain periods of time.

Online courses also offer great opportunities for peer interaction and support. Through many different means, learners can connect with peers from around the world and create meaningful relationships that can help motivate them in their studies. By having peers who understand where they are coming from and who share similar goals, students may feel more inspired to complete their coursework with enthusiasm!

A Personalized Learning Plan for Students

During the enrollment phase, counselors evaluate diagnostic test results and previous school records. They then determine the student's education plan and curriculum in collaboration with parental input. At Enlightium, we serve a wide range of students, from students at-risk to high-achievers to students who need a personalized approach to learning.

In addition, Enlightium supports high-achieving students via personalized learning. Students who score above average at their grade level in the diagnostic tests and who display above-average performance on their previous school’s progress report (B’s and above) may be considered for honor courses. Honor courses demand more effort from students since they move at a heightened pace, contain more projects, and explore subjects with more depth.

Personalization also provides an opportunity for progressing ahead of school peers. Per their Enlightium counselor’s approval and collaboration with teachers and parents, a student may take advanced courses beyond their grade level. An accelerated path is available to students where they can complete grade levels at a faster pace. Fees apply for courses above the regular course requirements or standard course load.

Enjoy a Flexible Schedule!

Enlightium students have a flexible schedule and can work at their own pace. But what does working at your own pace mean? It means:

  • That you can finish your school work each week AND live your life. Many Enlightium students travel during the school year, are professional athletes and entertainers, or work ahead and finish high school in less than four years.
  • If you are an early bird, you can wake up early, finish your schoolwork by noon, and enjoy the rest of your day! If you are a night owl, you can complete your assignments at night. If you want to mix it up, you can do work throughout the day with breaks.
  • If you want or need to travel, you and your family can plan ahead so that you do some schoolwork on nights and weekends before and after your trip so you can enjoy traveling without having to worry about school.
  • If difficult life circumstances occur, you can use nights, weekends, and holidays to stay on track.

Meet Students from Around the World

Enlightium Academy has thousands of students from all over the world! Your child talks to their classmates in the United States, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, all while never leaving home. Enlightium offers social opportunities such as a Pen Pal Program that matches your child with another student who lives anywhere in the world. Students can write letters, learn about each other's culture, and make a friend that will last a lifetime!

Overall, enrolling in an online school offers a great opportunity for parents looking to motivate their students. With their advantages in personalization, flexibility, peer interaction & support, and technology integration, these courses provide an excellent platform for learners to stay engaged and reach their academic goals. If this sounds like something you might be interested in exploring further, don't hesitate to reach out for assistance on how best to get started.
