The Cushman Virtual Blended Program: The Best Of Both Worlds

Our Blended Program seamlessly integrates the flexibility of virtual education with enriching in-person experiences, creating a well-rounded academic journey. Students can customize their course load, choosing to take subjects like math and science as year-long courses or by semester, depending on their learning profile and pace.

The program combines interactive live instruction with independent learning, giving students the freedom to complete coursework on their own schedule while benefiting from real-time teacher engagement. Dedicated college and guidance counselors provide support at every stage, ensuring students stay on track academically and personally.

Every student learns differently, which is why we offer customized course structures to match their individual needs:

Flexible Course Lengths – Students can choose between semester or year-long courses for core subjects like language arts, math, and science, allowing for an adaptable learning pace.

Customized Schedules – Students have the flexibility to create a personalized schedule that accommodates their academic goals, extracurricular commitments, and personal interests.

Learning Tracks – Cushman offers a standard college preparatory academic program, offering 30 courses at Advanced Placement and 34 at Honors levels. Honors and AP courses are clearly noted on the student’s transcript. Essentials classes provide specialized instruction to meet students’ individual needs.

“Cushman Virtual gives me the flexibility that I would never have if I were attending school in person. Small class sizes remotely make it easier to learn because the teacher focuses more attention on you. I am able to play sports, be at either my mom’s or dad’s house with no issue, visit my best friend in North Carolina, and go for daily walks on my breaks.”
