During the school year, Richard McKenna Online Charter School has a rolling enrollment. This means new classes begin each Monday! Registration closes near the end of the year when there is not enough time to complete a course before the end of the school year.
Registration paperwork is due to the office by Wednesday at 3:00 p.m. to start classes on the following Monday.

Our rolling enrollment means students can begin courses every Monday during the school year. This means students can enroll at Richard McKenna immediately and don’t need to wait for a new academic term. It also means that when students complete courses early, they can enroll in their next course the very next Monday, allowing them to accelerate their progress toward graduation. Students must take two courses to maintain enrollment and cannot be enrolled in another school.
Instruction is asynchronous, meaning students don’t meet with teachers and fellow students at a certain time. Students can participate in lessons and submit assignments at any time convenient to them. Asynchronous courses means students can also work ahead and complete courses early, allowing them to accelerate toward graduation or make up credits previously missed.
Students enroll in 2 courses at a time and courses last for only six weeks. This allows students to focus on only 2 subjects intensively instead of trying to balance 7 or 8. It also allows students to see their progress toward graduation at more regular intervals (every six weeks).
