World Classroom@FA
A Learning Community Beyond Borders
World Classroom@FA was developed to meet the evolving landscape of education and the changing needs of students and families.
Students have the option of taking one or as many as five online courses to enroll as a full-time student and earn an accredited U.S. high school diploma. All of FA's online courses are synchronous-learning based, where groups of students learn together and are guided by their instructors in virtual classrooms. This remote learning format is more conducive to collaboration and group discussions, project-based learning, and the building of community--an important trademark of a Fryeburg Academy education.
World Classroom@FA offers the school's popular college-prep courses such as AP Chemistry, AP History, and AP Statistics as well as electives in SAT prep, ESOL, and American Studies. Additionally, distance learners will receive individualized college counseling from our post-secondary planning and school counselors to guide them towards their academic goals.
Students may participate in the online program for one semester of an academic year, followed by an on-campus semester, or complete their entire academic year remotely. The goal of the program is to provide students and families with the most flexibility to offer a unique Fryeburg Academy experience.
