About The Phoenix Academy Curriculum

Phoenix Academy offers a flexible curriculum called NovaNET. NovaNET is a computer-based academic program designed to provide students with an alternative method of earning credit towards graduation. Students can study at our Jefferson Avenue study labs or one of our three Credit Recovery and Outreach Centers. In addition, all courses and assignments are available 24/7 on your home computer.

Full-time students attend on a regular basis pursuant to their Individual Education Plan. Regular attendance lets the student benefit from one-on-one attention from our teachers.

Full-time students are required to work on their courses a minimum of 15 hours per week. However, you will earn course credit faster if you choose to work more than the minimum requirement. The average student should earn 3 credits per semester or 6 credits per school year. Again, the more time you spend working on NovaNET, the more credits you will earn.

Outreach students — those who are enrolled at a traditional community school — are welcome to register for courses they would like to complete to fast-track their progress toward graduation or to recover lost credits.

All classes are comprised of modules which are similar to chapters or units in a textbook. Most modules begin with a pre-test which checks your knowledge of the topics covered by the module. Lessons will automatically be assigned according to pre-test scores. After lessons are completed, a score of 70 is required on a posttest to move on to the next module. In order to earn a credit, students must complete all modules in the class section. After completion, students must take their final exam. Once the exam is completed, students must verify with the teacher that they are indeed finished and ask for a final grade to be assigned. The counselor will record student credits and track progress toward graduation.
