HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Starting Monday, Huntsville City Schools will begin accepting applications for Artemis Virtual Academy, the district's new online school set to begin in August.
Artemis Academy will offer students in grades K-12 the flexibility to engage in teaching and learning virtually while also providing students the ability to receive additional support in-person.
Students in Artemis Academy will be able to participate in athletics, band, choir, and extracurricular offerings at the school they are zoned to attend.
Each student will be assigned a highly qualified teacher. Students will be able to attend open office hours and schedule meeting times with teachers. All students will be provided with an HCS-issued device and take-home internet option for students who qualify for Free or Reduced Lunches.
Families must apply for their student to be enrolled in the program. Interviews may be conducted to ensure Artemis is the best educational approach to service the needs of each student. The HCS Special Education Department will also be involved in reviewing applications for students for whom they service to ensure the needs of all students are met.
Artemis Academy will have the same support and requirements as other schools including testing, grading periods, report cards, and student code of conduct.
The program will be offered at no cost to families. Families must be zoned for Huntsville City Schools for their children to attend.
