curriculum and course offerings to our high school students while still remaining within our financial constraints. To that end, we offer to each of our high school students the opportunity to enroll in any East Allen County Schools high school course through Distance Learning. Students who want to participate in a Distance Learning course (an approved course not taught at their home school) will obtain approval from the building principal and enroll in the course through the guidance department. The method of instruction for these courses is video conferencing. Course offerings are subject to sufficient enrollment.
