Do you have real teachers? How do they stay in contact with their students?
Yes, our teachers are a fundamental part of our school. Parents can have confidence that Keystone National High School's teachers will help their children achieve their potential.
Keystone National High School faculty members are all certified teachers with an average of seven years of instructional experience. More than 45% percent of Keystone National High School faculty members have earned master's or doctoral degrees in education or areas of instructional specialty. More than 85% percent of Keystone National High School's faculty members are "highly-qualified" as determined by the criteria established in the federal No Child Left Behind Act.
Keystone takes pride in how its students thrive in a learning community, connecting with teachers, other students, and parents whenever they wish. Some students prefer to engage their teacher in a limited fashion, while others seek a deeper relationship with their instructor.
There are many ways for students to contact their teachers. All students can connect with their teachers by phone, fax, email (for online courses only), or in traditional correspondence. Students that take online courses can also connect through class online bulletin boards, virtual classrooms, two-way chat, and two-way voice IP connections.
What is the difference between correspondence courses and the online courses?
Keystone National High School fits students' lives by allowing them to study on their own time and at their own pace. This extends to the choice of format that is offered to them — correspondence or online. Most of our courses are supported by high-quality industry-leading textbooks, a nationally-recognized curriculum, and certified teacher instruction.
Keystone National High School's online courses offer students more interaction with teachers and 72-hour turnaround on assessments. Online courses include engaging interactive activities, supporting graphics and flash demonstrations to enhance the learning experience. Online courses use the internet to send and receive work and communicate with other students and faculty. To see a demonstration of our online courses, click here.
Keystone National High School correspondence courses are paper-based courses delivered primarily by postal mail. They are available for students who require or prefer a more traditional distance learning experience. For example, correspondence courses may better meet the educational needs of students who are living in remote locations where internet access may be unreliable.
Either format will provide the student with a sound, accredited, self-directed program of study that helps them achieve their potential.
How many times can students contact teachers?
There is no limit to the number of times you can contact your teacher. It will ultimately be determined by your needs as you manage and organize your studies.
We encourage you to build a working relationship with your teacher that includes instructional support and advice when and if you need it.
Are teachers different for correspondence vs. online courses?
Sometimes. Although regardless of which format they teach, all of our instructors are certified and knowledgeable in their subject area. Their focus in all cases is the same: to help you learn, grow, and achieve your individual potential.
