GMC On-Line Move On When Ready Classes for 2017-2018
Georgia Military College offers Move On When Ready courses all on-line to SCHS students. This unique program offers the ultimate in flexibility and in the need for responsibility. They are on the quarter system, so students can take up to two classes on-line each eight week quarter. This means that a student can earn the 8 required credits by the end of the school year across the four quarters.
This year, we have had approximately 40 students take a MOWR class through GMC. Students have enjoyed the flexibility of the class, but have also learned that daily responsibility is a must with this program. It is not easy; after all, it is college. We have also had a good number of students carry an A average in these classes. So what is the difference between the two results? Task management, without much adult intervention.
If your student would like to participate in GMC's MOWR Program next school year, He or she must have a qualifying test score:

Engineering Class Offered to Freshmen and Sophomores in 2017-18
A new course option has just been made available to rising freshmen and sophomores (currently 8th graders and 9th graders). Introduction to Engineering will be offered on-line to students who are interested in Engineering or Drafting as a career option for the future. This class will be offered during the school day in a supervised lab and will require students to log in to take this class from a teacher teaching it remotely.
Because of the nature of engineering, it is recommended that a student be a solid math student (at least a B in accelerated math or an A in on-level math). Also, because of the nature of on-line courses, students who work well without a lot of adult intervention/encouragement to complete tasks are best suited for success. The most important ingredient in your student's success in this class is a deep interest in learning more about engineering.
On Wednesday, March 29th at 2:30 pm, we will host a meeting for students who are interested in this opportunity. No commitment is required by coming to this meeting, so if you even think you might be interested, complete the registration form linked below and make plans on attending!
