Students at Gwaltney School are enrolled and withdrawn according to
their individual situation. They often arrive - or leave - in the
middle of a semester. For students nearing the age at which they may no
longer attend high school, such interruptions can be damaging to their
ability and desire to complete their education.
Dr. Bowling, Director of Education, and Ms. Denise Moss, Individual
Student Alternative Education Coordinator, developed GO. Using the
web-based curriculum called Odysseyware, students who have left
Jackson-Feild may take elective subjects and GED preparation courses. We
mail textbooks and educational materials to participating students, and
- through Odysseyware - follow their progress on a daily basis. Ms.
Moss is available via telephone to provide assistance as needed to help
students understand and complete the course assignments. When a student
has completed the online GED prep course and is ready to take the test,
Ms. Moss makes the arrangements for the student to take the test in his
or her home locality.
As of press time, five students have earned their GED certificate by participating in GO. This
innovative approach is only one of our many commitments to our
students. By completing their education through GO, our students are
able to go out into the world and live independent, successful lives.
