McKenna, our tuition-free online public charter school supports your high school student with a welcoming community that encourages personal responsibility and academic success.
Discover a school that works around your life — not the other way!
We work to build a supportive school culture that develops personal responsibility and fosters academic success. At Richard McKenna, we only require students to take 2 Classes in a 6-week period, allowing students to maintain a healthy school-life balance.
Our rolling enrollment means students can begin courses every Monday during the school year. This means students can enroll at Richard McKenna immediately and don’t need to wait for a new academic term. It also means that when students complete courses early, they can enroll in their next course the very next Monday, allowing them to accelerate their progress toward graduation. Students must take two courses to maintain enrollment and cannot be enrolled in another school.
Instruction is asynchronous, meaning students don’t meet with teachers and fellow students at a certain time. Students can participate in lessons and submit assignments at any time convenient to them. Asynchronous courses means students can also work ahead and complete courses early, allowing them to accelerate toward graduation or make up credits previously missed.
Students enroll in 2 courses at a time and courses last for only six weeks. This allows students to focus on only 2 subjects intensively instead of trying to balance 7 or 8. It also allows students to see their progress toward graduation at more regular intervals (every six weeks).
