Online Course Options
What are Virtual Course Options
ALA Virtual offers the flexibility of fully online learning with structured support to help students stay on track. All coursework is completed in our 24/7 digital classroom, and while live sessions are available, most virtual students participate asynchronously. This model allows students to personalize their schedules while still engaging with high-quality instruction, consistent communication, and meaningful online learning experiences.
Who can Benefit from Online Course Options?
If you’re a high school student currently enrolled at an ALA campus in Arizona, online course options through ALA Virtual could be a great fit—especially if you want more flexibility without missing out on the full campus experience.
Online courses might be right for you if:
- You enjoy online learning but still want face-to-face time with teachers and classmates.
- You learn best through hands-on experiences—like labs, design studios, or performing arts.
- You need a flexible schedule to balance academics with sports, arts, work, or other commitments.
- You want to stay connected to your school community—attending games, clubs, dances, and more.
- You’re looking for a college-style experience, combining independent learning with structured in-person sessions.
Talk to your home campus counselor to see if online course options are a good fit for your goals and schedule.
