Lunas Schools Distance Learning Academy (DLA) is offered at Century High School and provides a quality education for our students where we combine a hybrid setting allowing students to take advantage of a web-based curriculum and increase the student’s ability to understand through small-group and one-on-one tutorials. Students are challenged
with a rigorous curriculum where the Distance Learning Academy staff monitor and motivate students to succeed. Students will be required to attend live classes two days a week on zoom and will work at their own pace to complete on-line classes. Depending on the student’s time constraints and motivation, the high school course(s) may be completed ahead of time for early graduation.
The Century High School Distance Learning Academy is an opportunity for families to take advantage of blending classroom instruction with home school instruction; allowing students to benefit from both group and one-on-one approaches; and, online instruction that increases student success. Students employ "Distance Learning” via remote their home computer connection to login and receive instruction through Edgeunity our web-based curriculum. On
Monday, Wednesday and Friday, students will participate in math lab, language arts lab, small group instruction and one-on-one tutoring. On Tuesday and Thursday students participate with teachers via Zoom. Students are also encouraged to enroll in Dual Credit courses at UNM-VC to receive college and high school credit simultaneously.
The Distance Learning Academy creates individualized student profiles through aligning academic needs with motivational factors. These profiles are shared with parents and students, establishing a strong partnership between home and school. Parents are provided in-depth program training, student expectations, and have access to real-time progress. Students are in control of their progress and learn to manage time, create schedules, set goals, self-assess,
analyze, monitor, and correct mistakes.
