Alpha Omega Academy Offers Distance Learning Students New Online Curriculum

Rock Rapids, IA (May 14, 2009) - Alpha Omega Academy® (AOA), an accredited distance learning school for students in grades K-12, is pleased to announce the addition of Switched-On Online™ starting July 1, 2009. This modern, technology-based online curriculum reflects today's educational needs and provides AOA's students in grades 3-12 with an improved learning experience in Bible, history and geography, math, science, language arts, and a variety of electives.

Delivering the same award-winning, academic Christian content found in AOA's Switched-On Schoolhouse®, Switched-On Online provides lessons and activities with a more convenient, web-based learning environment. Alpha Omega Academy's faculty and staff encourage distance learning students and their families to take advantage of Switched-On Online's new and improved method for course delivery that includes these great advantages:

    • No CDs or shipping fees
    • Immediate startup without a cumbersome installation process
    • Windows®, Macintosh®, or Linux-based operating system applications
    • Internet accessibility to complete schoolwork anytime, anywhere
    • Web-style navigation intuitive for today's students and parents
    • Immediate curriculum updates without any downloads
    • Pass threshold on lessons, so students master the information before advancing to the next assignment
    • Project submission in various media formats like student-created videos or slide shows
Because the two curriculum formats are different, Alpha Omega Academy will refer to new Internet-based courses as Switched-On Online (SOO) and will reserve the term Switched-On Schoolhouse (SOS) for CD-ROM courses only.
