Full time online students will be scheduled into 6 courses at a time but may set up a different, specialized schedule with administrator approval.

Students can choose to enroll in one the following types of classes (or a mix):

• Teacher-paced, virtual classes where students will with their teacher on a regular basis, at least twice each week, and complete assignments when not working directly with their teacher.

Each course contains a final exam that must be taken in person. Full-time Global Academy students may take their exams at the Global Academy testing center, located at 55 N Greenfield Road in Gilbert beginning in August.
