Customized Projects

Students enrolled in the Online Program in the Silver+, Gold, and Diamond packages have the option to request customized projects.
Students enrolled in the Sapphire Live Program and the Hybrid Program can request customized projects, which will be discussed with their in-person teacher.
Approved customized projects allow a student to complete a project using the student's talents, such as making a video about a history project instead of writing an essay.
Students may request customized projects from their teachers. If approved, the teacher will work with the student to identify an alternate method of completing the project while maintaining the project’s objectives, rigor, and expectations.

Examples of alternate project methods include:
- Allowing the student to display their knowledge by creating a video or podcast rather than writing an essay.
- Allowing a student to build a model with Legos rather than drawing it.
Students may request from their teacher other ways to complete a project.

Teachers reserve the right to deny a request for a customized project for any reasonA common reason for denial if the method of completing the project is essential to the project. For example, a writing-intensive course, such as an English course that aims to teach students to write well, may require writing as the form of completion.
