La Grande Learning Academy (LLA) recognizes, in some cases, the
traditional classroom may not be the best learning environment for
students and their families. As part of our pledge to develop opportunities
for all students, we are offering students the opportunity to do high school
coursework online. Students may enroll in some online classes or a full-
time schedule, and will remain students of the traditional brick and mortar
high school. Online students will still have access to staff and facilities to
develop their personalized path toward graduation and adulthood. LLA
students and families will need to work closely with online staff and high
school counselors to make sure they are on-track and meeting the state
requirements for graduation.
