The GMS learning paradigm is primarily asynchronous (not real-time), but it does provide extensive real-time assistance. What exactly does this mean? Although each course requires a particular amount of work each week, you are free to create your own daily or weekly schedule. You can also speed up during the week when something is simple for you and slow down when it is hard. Some of our courses feature weekly class meetings; however, they are only necessary for the “college prep course.” In other classes, if your schedule prevents you from attending the meeting, your teacher will provide an alternate assignment.
