Subjects Offered in Acellus Academy’s Online 9th Grade Program
In order to make sure students are meeting specific milestones for each class, we have detailed objectives for each course. Students must master concepts before progressing to more difficult lessons, units, or even courses. This process prevents students from falling behind or being confused in a more difficult course because they don’t have the required background knowledge.
Acellus Academy provides students with different course levels, including honors and advanced placement for students who excel in a certain subject. Extra help videos and resources are integrated into the curriculum to give students extra assistance when necessary, as well. Visit our high school overview for a full list of courses and course objectives.

Students complete practice problems, assignments, and exams, and hands-on projects and activities, such as essays, research projects, and experiments. A variety of coursework lets students apply the concepts using a variety of learning techniques.
Acellus Academy has created a variety of tools that give each student a personalized learning experience that is best suited for their preferred learning methods. The Acellus Learning Accelerator gives students the opportunity to work at their own pace and progress through lessons as they feel comfortable.
The Acellus app provides a student interface that provides course materials, video lessons, and additional resources for students. The app lets students complete coursework or attend class anytime they have Internet access.
Creating a High School Education Plan
Acellus Academy recommends that our online high school students work with their parents to create an education plan to make sure they are meeting all graduation requirements while taking courses they enjoy. A high school education plan includes a strategy for courses to take, graduation pathway, college or career planning, and tuition and fees. This is a great resource for parents and students alike. High school education plans do not take long to create and can be edited and changed as necessary.
