Agave Distance Learning
Agave Distance Learning (AGAVE) is located in the US state of Arizona. It is part of the Tucson Schools district, through which its diplomas are awarded. Agave is a tuition-free programme for qualified Arizona students, offering core, honors and AP classes. The school district partnered with the private Kaplan Virtual Education to create the Agave Distance Learning school.
The school serves students in grades 9–12 and gives access to a complete online curriculum. Courses are self-paced, although teachers are available as needed. Students may opt to earn a diploma through Agave or have credits transferred to their own school.
