Appleton eSchool should offer a wide variety of course options for high school credit as generated by students' needs and interests.

Appleton Area School District students should be encouraged to complete at least one online course as preparation for an increasingly technological world.

In general, it is not recommended that students take all of their high school courses through online learning.
