eDCSD: Your newest education choice

Welcome to eDCSD, Douglas County School District’s online school. Today, education professionals know more than ever before about the ways in which students learn. Today’s students are unique learners, and a singular, traditional education model may no longer be adequate.

In the Douglas County School District – one of the highest-achieving districts in Colorado – we’ve created a new approach to education. We call it eDCSD. Students enrolled in eDCSD are allowed to learn and study on a flexible, convenient schedule. This highly interactive K-12 online school encompasses communication, collaboration and feedback. eDCSD is open to all Colorado residents, K-12, who will be attending school full-time.

eDCSD: Elements of learning

• eDCSD is not a Denver, Colorado home schooling program
• Students study the same curriculum covered in traditional schools
• eDCSD learners participate online with other students
• Classes are taught by highly qualified teachers who provide guidance and feedback
• Class sizes are the same as brick-and-mortar classrooms

eDCSD combines online and traditional learning modalities to fit students’ needs and outside demands. Students enrolled in eDCSD can also choose face-to-face classes at a local school and meet other eDCSD learners and their families in field trips and other educational environments.

This new model of learning blends the best of traditional schooling and new technology to inspire, empower and develop each student’s well-rounded education. eDCSD meets accreditation standards, as well as guidelines created by the state of Colorado and the Douglas County School District.

Why online education?

Students today lead lives that revolve around technology. They are often adept navigators of the tools that make the worldwide spread of information possible.

This technology also allows students to become engaged in their own education in a new way. The same core and elective subjects are taught in the eDCSD school, but students can experience a new ownership of what they learn.

Online education also offers greater flexibility and availability than traditional schools. eDCSD can meet a wide variety of student needs and situations. Many students and parents find these features of online education to be the most beneficial:

• The ability to combine online and traditional classroom learning to fit a student’s unique needs
• Scheduling flexibility so students can design their own school day
• The chance to study and learn from anywhere

With online education, eDCSD is offering families another option for their children. Whether you are interested in an online elementary school, online middle school or an online high school in Colorado, we are confident that your child can thrive in our quality programs.
