At Primavera, we provide our students with the tools needed not only to graduate but to excel while in high school, and that’s why we have special resources that allow you to leave Primavera with even more than just a fully-accredited diploma.

Did you know we offer online electives courses? From 2 Dimensional Design to Hospitality and Tourism, there are lots of options for you to choose from! To help you learn more about our exciting courses offered, we asked Primavera Electives Instructor Hieyam Abdu a few questions. Check them out below!

What do you like most about teaching electives?

“I love teaching the creative courses. My art and design courses are my favorite, because not only am I allowed to be creative on how I teach the class, but the students get to be creative in how they show they are learning. I enjoy seeing their presentations, art work, floor plans, clothing sketches etc.… Their creativity is so inspiring!”

In what ways are online elective courses better at Primavera vs. a traditional school?

“I feel that it allows the student to not only explore elective topics for career development, but doing it online helps them learn it with the included technology aspect. I feel that in traditional schools computers are not used enough yet in elective courses, where here at Primavera, all of our electives require the use of technology to learn and understand course content.”

Why is it important for students to take elective courses?

“I think it is important to be well rounded. When you are in college all students are required to take at least one or two classes in all subject matters. I may not like math so much, but I have learned so much in my past education that I have basic knowledge of it now. Speaking as an art teacher, students often feel they are ‘not creative’ and cannot succeed in an art course. However, quite the opposite is true. A successful student in my opinion is a well-rounded one. Having a little bit of knowledge from each subject will increase and enhance student self-development.”
