Course Delivery
Blue Ridge International Academy delivers its online courses via the STARS™ system, a unique, web-based content delivery system that features automated assessment, individualized prescriptive remediation, and comprehensive reporting.
The STARS™ system includes 38 courses, most with approximately 18 lessons and submissions per semester. Randomly generated midterms and final exams are taken online, submitted, then automatically graded by the system. All course content is incorporated into online lessons, eliminating the need to purchase hardcover textbooks.
For each course, the STARS™ system can pre-assess a student’s content knowledge and generate an individualized course of study that targets student learning to where it’s most needed. This enables students to accelerate through the curriculum, recover credits, and boosting their confidence along the way.
STARS™ has been a premier web-based educational system for nearly ten years. Our curriculum is used in more than 1,200 school systems by over 250,000 students. Clients consistently report remarkable success in using our system for credit recovery, alternative education, and dropout prevention programs. Students at risk of failing or dropping out are given a powerful tool to catch up and stay on track. Mainstream students also benefit from increased course selection and being empowered to advance rapidly through self-paced study.
