The Germantown Municipal School District created a new goal, literally. Thursday the district announced the opening of Germantown Online Academy of Learning (GOAL), an online school for grades 6-12.
District leaders say online instruction will be provided by Tennessee-certified teachers. Also, students will have access to tutors via a third-party LiveTutor program provided through Pearson Connexus.
According to GMSD, GOAL will have its own principal and a small GMSD staff. Students will have opportunities to take part in social networking events and extra-curricular activities including such as athletics and (non-co-curricular) fine arts.
