TAKING LEARNING BEYOND THE NEST
The Susquenita Blackhawk Academy is an educational program designed to meet the needs of students who want to pursue their education in a non-traditional format. Susquenita is currently a member partner with the CAOLA (Capital Area Online Learning Association) and will be contracting through them for the distance learning program that is competency based and fully aligned with the Pennsylvania Academic Standards. This standards-aligned curriculum requires students to demonstrate their proficiency through tests and exams aligned to the mastery-based lessons.
Each student is assigned a personal advisor through Susquenita to help with counseling course selections and advice for college and high school graduation requirements. A Susquenita team of professionals has been identified to provide registration guidance, placement support, testing support, accurate record keeping and ongoing communication. Students enrolled in the Susquenita Blackhawk Academy are eligible to participate in all district activities. Students who complete the graduation requirements of Susquenita School District through participation in the program will receive a Susquenita School District diploma.
