Our Experience with Primavera

How This Online Pioneer Changed Education

This year, over 6,000 students will enroll in Primavera High School, making it one of the largest in Arizona. They will register for courses, study on their computers, receive encouragement from their teachers and even make friends with their peers - all without ever setting foot on campus. That's because Primavera High School is completely online. And its success is inspiring an explosion of growth in education.

Students Who Benefit

What types of students attend an online high school? The answer may surprise you. Geographically, 75 percent of Primavera's students are located in Phoenix area with other student populations representing the smaller cities of Tucson and Prescott. A significant part of the school's student population also resides in rural areas. The reasons students choose Primavera are just as varied. Whether it is a desire for accelerated learning or in response to bullying, overcrowded classrooms, behavioral issues or a life changing event - every student has something in common - the demand for an alternative quality education.

Teachers With A Common Philosophy

Primavera also boasts of an excellent roster of teaching professionals, each highly qualified and accredited by the State of Arizona. In fact, 73 percent of the school's teachers have a Master's degree or higher and each receives extensive training and ongoing professional development. Many have extensive classroom experience but were drawn to Primavera's online model because of the unique teaching benefits it offers. Each enjoys the extensive personal contact they have at Primavera and many credit the school's educational philosophy as a key factor in their choice to teach online.

Inspirational Academic Choices

Many of today's brick and mortar high schools offer a selection of academic courses that may be limited by budget, space or teaching expertise. Primavera overcomes these obstacles to provide students with a selection of hundreds of courses, from general education requirements to exciting electives, each in alignment with national standards. Students receive meaningful personal attention from experts in the field in variety of subjects in an engaging environment that inspires lifelong learning.

A Model of Success

As a result of over ten years of research and development, including years of consulting with students, parents, teachers and administrators, Primavera has developed a model for online success that features:

Six-Week Classes

Shorter, manageable courses keep students engaged and focused through periods of defined start and end dates. Keeping students active and moving forward in their educational goals helps the school reduce student churn to maintain a steady enrollment.

Extensive Teacher Interaction

At Primavera, online learning is not an isolated experience. Students and parents regularly comment on the impressive quality of the school's teachers and the extensive amount of personal attention received as compared to a traditional school.

Proprietary Curriculum Solutions

Through more than ten years of online education experience, Primavera has developed one of the top curriculum models in the country based on a highly interactive platform that not only engages students but also adapts to their personal learning style.
