More Colleges Going Online: Get Ready With Primavera

Within just these past couple of months, the University of Arizona started offering fully online degree programs, and Arizona State University added hundreds of new online degrees. It’s not just Arizona; colleges throughout the country are offering more online programs, and even adding an online aspect to their traditional degrees. With all of this push for an online college education, there is no better time than now to be a Primavera Online High School student. Here are a few reasons why being an online student now will help better prepare you for your future in college.

1. Online students learn discipline

At Primavera, there is no assigned seats or raising your hand to ask to use the bathroom. Our students enjoy the freedom of completing their school work on their schedule, when and where they want. This comes with great responsibility as well. As a former Primavera graduate said:

“Primavera helps you achieve responsibility, taking charge of your own learning. I’ve heard college stories saying you’re not going to have someone babysitting you, and I think with Primavera, you get that experience already…it gives you that experience to go on and be able to take charge of your own learning and education and responsibilities,” – Jayde Kolb, Primavera graduate

2. More flexibility

In college, you get to choose the time and day you want to attend classes and study. In Primavera, you do the same, so why not start early? Our students can take advantage of working on their assignments when and where they want, in order to balance the other activities in their lives such as working a job or participating in student clubs. These options will also be available to them in college, so they will be prepared to manage their schedules rather than being overwhelmed!
 

3. You Gain experience communicating with teachers outside a classroom

In a brick and mortar school, you see your teacher every single school day. At many colleges, classroom sizes can range anywhere from 100-500 students! You might be lucky if the professor even knows your name. This, combined with more online degree programs and online aspects being added to the classrooms, is the reason college students communicate with their professors less in person. Professors or more readily available via emails and phone calls, just like at Primavera. Our teachers are available by phone, email, PSP messages and in person tutoring so you can get the personalized support you need and get used to communicating with a teacher the way you would with a college professor.

4. You will be familiar with completing online assignments 

Even if you plan to take your college courses in person, they will most likely still have an online aspect. Now more than ever, in person colleges have online assignments, exams and resources that you could be a pro at if you graduate with Primavera Online High School. Our students are comfortable with the idea of logging in and completing coursework, exams, and even doing research online.

5. Our counselors will help you get ready for college

At Primavera, our guidance counselors work hard to help our students prepare for life after high school. If you are thinking about getting a degree online or even in person, come to Primavera! We will help you graduate and get prepared to go to the college you want to attend.
