Cross Currents

College readiness is no longer defined only by GPA or test scores. Students need to advocate for themselves, adjust when a strategy stops working, and gain exposure to college level content so that AP or dual credit opportunities feel realistic rather than intimidating. Supplemental online courses help by giving students a flexible way to practice college expectations with structure and feedback still in place.

Online learning in faith-based schools often gets dismissed as less rigorous, less relational, or less valuable than traditional classrooms. But the evidence — and AVLI student and teacher experiences — tell a different story. From building time management skills to forming strong teacher relationships to earning respected dual credits, virtual learning can extend opportunities without losing the heart of faith-based education.
