Agave Distance Learning
CLOSED (Please correct if this is not the case, no AGAVE URLs below are working)
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 (as well as credit recovery/acceleration). The school district is partnered with the private Kaplan Virtual Education to create the Agave Distance Learning school.
The school serves Arizona 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 study part- or full-time, and may opt to earn a diploma through Agave or have credits transferred to their own school.
