Ownership & Empowerment
Students who take online classes often feel a greater sense of ownership over their education because they can choose courses that reflect their passions and capabilities.

Comprehensive Support

Marketable Skills
Most modern classrooms integrate technology to varying degrees, but online school pushes students to master digital tools and organizational skills that carry significant value in higher education and the workforce. The discipline, time management, and initiative necessary to achieve digital fluency sets our students apart and gives them a competitive edge.
Community & Inclusion
Our online community is integral to who we are and what makes our students successful. Collaboration through technology teaches Princeton students how to build functional relationships online, while cultivating a meaningful academic and social support network. Students from diverse backgrounds are able to connect, study together and motivate each other beyond what is possible in a traditional school environment.
Individualized Engagement
While some students thrive in a face-to-face classroom environment, we recognize that learning is not “one size fits all.” Our flexible instruction means students have the option to customize their experience, while reducing learning barriers and creating new academic challenges. Students can set their own pace, create goals and receive one-on-one guidance to maximize their success.
