Helix Online Home School

Instructor: Mr. Patterson

Welcome To Helix Charter High School's Online Home School Program!

The Helix home school program is an off-site Internet based program through Apex Learning that allows students to attend Helix High School remotely by enrolling in quarterly Internet classes taught by Helix teachers. The home school program allows students the flexibility of taking courses online while having the same CIF eligibility to play sports at Helix, participate in any of our after school extra-curricular activities or to come on to campus to take part in one of our many clubs.

Student attendance is taken at 12 noon every school day. To avoid being marked absent, students are required to log in by 12 noon every SCHOOL day, access their courses and check for teacher announcements. Students may be eligible to be enrolled in the Helix home school program if they meet the following criteria:

At least 3.0 grade point average
No more than 10 credits deficient
Adequate resources in the home (i.e. High speed Internet, reliable computer)

Success in the online home school program is defined by attendance via daily login hours, quiz scores, labs, weekly discussions, exams, and writing assignments along with weekly contact with their teachers either via phone or email.
