Students who do not reside in the Graham District are eligable for enrollment in the A.B. Graham Academy, a state-wide charter school.
Contact the school at 937-663-0370 or email Scott Howell A.B.G.A Superindendent at howells@abga.cs.k12.oh.us or A.B.G.APrincipal Marcia Ward at wardma@abga.cs.k12.oh.us.

Students may access their class virtually from the computers at the library, in the GDA lab at the Media Center at GHS and/or at the A.B.G.A lab at the Graham Board Office! Once a student is trained they will receive a login name and password that will allow entry into the system. A.B.G.A has a closed system therefore students find their class work is shown within the body of the assignment or they will be assigned specific websites to access.
Singleton students do not receive computers from A.B.G.A. Computers and printers/scanners are provided for full time students only.

No! The Lab is closed in the summer except for training in July for Singleton Students. The A.B.G.A lab is open when Graham Local Schools are in session from August to June. The Lab is open from 7:40 – 3:30 each day.

Physical Education online is a .5 credit course. At GHS you must take two .25 credit PE classes. The A.B.G.A PE class is .5 credits therefore one PE class at A.B.G.A will fulfill the Graham Local Schools requirement.
The online PE course is offered in six Blocks of Instruction. Each Block usually takes approximately three weeks to complete
( 15 days), assuming the student works Monday through Friday! Students must log 60 hours of physical activity on a record sheet and complete six reports. Report lengths vary. There may be a report on your "favorite" sport or your "favorite" athlete.
Students may not begin to count their activity hours until AFTER they are trained. Summer band camp, summer soccer, biking, swimming, etc. all count for activity hours. A responsible adult must sign off on the hours: Mr. Buell, a coach, your teacher, your parents, or Mrs. Ward.
If you go on vacation while you are in PE during the summer, you may count summer activities you complete on vacation. This will be explained during summer orientation that is held in July at the A.B.G.A Lab.

Online teachers attempt to grade all work within three days of receiving an assignment. This is USUALLY the case, but not always!
Teachers are online at least five hours daily. They will share their schedule with you and usually respond within one – four hours if they are online. Most teachers are very diligent about responding to the need of a student. Mrs. Ward’s computer is on until midnight each evening and she will respond as well.

A.B.G.A is a non-punitive school. They only way a student might fail is to quit working altogether.

A.B.G.A offers online virtual classes for grades 6 – 12. We also offer Family School Curriculum that is purchased by A.B.G.A for the home schooling family. We have an HQT – highly qualified teacher – who serves as our Academic Advisor and assesses these students, issues a grade card, and shares the work of our students via a Bulletin Board at the A.B.G.A Classroom. Parents serve as the actual teachers and work in tandem with A.B.G.A teachers.

We also offer hard copy curriculum for high school students via American School for credit recovery and graduation.

A.B.G.A is offering a very rigorous curriculum,nationally normed via AVENTA Learning. Students may take a myriad of online AP (Advanced Placement) courses. A.B.G.A is offering Japanese and Mandarin Chinese in their foreign language courses to complement Latin, Spanish, French, and German.

Parents of A.B.G.A students have their own accounts to access student progress. Parents may have access to student email, their grade reports, teacher comments, and more. A.B.G.A sends a student Intervention sheet to parents who fail to observe their child online.

A.B.G.A believes strongly that our school has been successful because of the strong "family" school atmosphere we are attempting to create. We welcome input from parents and know full well who the customer is in our School.

A.B.G.A students have the opportunity to study in the A.B.G.A Lab at the Board Office daily from 7:40 – 2. They may work from their home if they prefer. However if the student does not show progress, they may be required to attend lab five days a week per the attendance/progress policy for A.B.G.A.

A.B.G.A students earn credits for their course completion and all credits transfer to their official transcript. An A.B.G.A student has selected a very challenging option for their educational pursuits. Online education is spreading across the United States rapidly. The virtual student must be focused and accountable. A diploma from the A.B. Graham Academy is a valid diploma that is recognized in the State of Ohio as authentic and credible. A student must compile 21 credits to receive the A.B.G.A diploma.
A recent ABGA senior was accepted to the most prestigious Hampshire College an Amherst, MA. The acceptance denoted the fact that the student was an independent thinker, well versed in virtual process, and was accustomed to rigorous curriculum.

Yes! The A.B.G.A senior has the opportunity to graduate with the Graham High School graduating class and participate in the ceremony in June.
