Acellus offers engaging and self-paced online courses. Pre-recorded video lessons are presented by experienced teachers in a format that students can access from a computer, phone, or tablet whenever they wish.

As well, courses contain a number of Special Lessons  or “offline” assignments in which the student puts their learning into practice. Special Lessons are designed to build depth into the course with additional instruction in the way of at-home science labs, writing and composition, focused projects, and critical thinking activities. Acellus Cybrschool is parent and HST-managed for all instruction and grading. When the CybrSchool option is activated, HSTs have the ability to request live sessions with the student.
