• Middle School Course Overview and Description (Hybrid)

    Classes at DLA are moving towards a full implementation of blended, online learning.  Students spend a minimum of two days a week receiving direct instruction from highly qualified teachers. At the current time this instruction will be through live Zoom sessions. They then continue their learning at home through the use of Edgenuity courses. These courses have videos of teachers teaching the concepts, interactive practice, lab assignments, journal activities and mastery quizzes.  When students or parents need additional help, there is a live teacher available to help.
