Case Study: Portage Township Schools expands flexible virtual learning with Subject

Portage Township Schools Chooses Subject for Virtual Academy

Portage Township Schools was facing a challenge as nearly 300 students had left the district for external virtual programs. These students required more flexibility than a traditional school schedule could provide due to obligations like work or family responsibilities. The district sought to create an online program to recapture these students and keep them connected to the local community, leading them to choose Subject for their new virtual academy.

Subject provided the solutions for the PACE Virtual Academy, including credit recovery and core course expansion. The program's design focuses on one course at a time over four weeks, supported by in-person mentors at the local high school. While specific metrics are not provided, the outcomes Subject helped achieve are expected to include recapturing students who left for other programs and providing a vital graduation pathway for those with scheduling constraints.
