Virtual Thursday

The Achievement Zone's Online Learning

The Achievement Zone will continue offering online classes for the Winter/Spring Semester. 

Classes will begin January 4, 2021 and run through May 28, 2021. 

TAZ Online will be offering two class choices every hour. Participants do not need to sign up for the entire day. They can select as many or as few of the options as they desire. When making your class selections, please be aware of the participant's potential fatigue from sitting at the computer for too long. We want TAZ Online to be an enjoyable experience and not to be overtaxing. TAZ Online will take place via ZOOM. 

To enroll: 

1. Decide which classes you are interested in after reading course descriptions for each! Please note that classes are scheduled multiple times each week, Ex) Technology 1 will cover the same material on Tuesday and Thursday. 
2. Complete the Interest Selection Survey (button on the right side bar of this webpage)
3. You will receive confirmation from The Achievement Zone staff
4. Your Support Coordinator will submit an SDR. Once The Arc receives it, you will be sent the link to the Zoom class.
