Depending on a student’s individual needs, learning styles, and
future goals, CASC and Heron offer highly personalized educational
pathways with a robust curriculum powered by K12, staff of South
Carolina-certified teachers, and a wide range of exciting
extracurriculars. The flexible nature of online school provides
students with both the opportunity to learn in the way that works
best for them and the ability to pursue their passions outside of
the classroom.
CASC serves grades K to 12 and supports each student’s academic,
social, and emotional growth. To support more advanced learners, it
offers the Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program which is
designed to nurture gifted students through modifications such as
dual enrollment for high schoolers, opportunities for acceleration,
and curriculum compacting.
Angel Canete, Greenville local and elite karate athlete
competing on the US National Team, credits CASC as the reason she’s
able to balance academic success with her rigorous training
schedule – but also to empower her with invaluable life and career
skills that will prepare her for the future.
“A traditional school environment wouldn’t fit my life because I
wouldn’t have the time to come to train at the dojo – I wouldn’t
have the time to step aside from school for competitions,” says
Angel. “Virtual school is the perfect fit for me because it enables
me to put my passions to work.”
Focused on personalized alternative pathways to graduation by
offering focused support, credit recovery courses, career prep and
work-based learning opportunities, Heron serves students in grades
9 to 12 currently but will expand to include grade 8 in the
2024-2025 school year. Recent Heron graduate Joseph McFadden was
able to thrive personally and academically because it allowed him
to learn at his own speed.
“My favorite parts of learning at Heron were the projects and
being able to work at my own pace,” says Joseph. “This flexible
schedule allowed me to have a job, make time for friends and
family, all while putting school first. I loved Heron because it
felt like family – it felt like home.”
CASC and Heron’s curriculum are provided by K12, a Stride, Inc.
company and the nation’s leading provider of online and blended
education programs. For more information, please visit K12.com.
