EP Online
EP Online is a 100 percent online learning option for Eden Prairie Schools students. EP Online is taught by highly-acclaimed Eden Prairie teachers using a combination of real-time learning through video conferencing and asynchronous learning. Students are able to experience Eden Prairie Schools’ outstanding personalized learning in an online format that follows the district’s rigorous standards and curriculum.
During the 2020-21 school year, there is high demand for a full-time online option. As a result, secondary students (grades 7-12) who choose EP Online will have their learning delivered by CMS and EPHS teachers using Schoology and video conferencing tools. These students will be remotely connecting into classes being taught on site in Eden Prairie Schools’ hybrid learning model.
Students in grades K-6 will experience a full online education, with lessons specially prepared to incorporate video, live teaching and weekly benchmarks that students must meet to progress in their learning. Elementary EP Online will be taught by Eden Prairie Schools teachers.
