Rigorous and Engaging

Designed by subject matter experts and taught by experienced teachers, Giant Campus’ project-based online high school courses will challenge students and prepare them for future studies or careers in technology, digital arts, or business.

• Students and parents may tour a sample course lesson.
• Teachers and school administrators can register for or request a course demonstration with Giant Campus staff.

Course Structure

Each week, the instructor will host a one-hour, live class meeting. The instructor will focus on a particular skill or concept from the week’s lessons, cover tips and tricks, and encourage students to share and learn from each others’ experience. Students who missed the live meeting can complete the session by watching a recorded version.

Students work on assignments when convenient – either at school or at home – and receive weekly announcements and reminders. Students can chat online with classmates, post to class forums, and meet one-on-one with the instructor during weekly office hours. Giant Campus instructors are dedicated to student success and are available outside of office hours through email, phone, instant message, or text message.
