How It Works
High School
At GCPA, we push all of our students to succeed in the learning environments and with the support they need to do their best. Online high school works much like conventional school, but with the added convenience of a virtual platform.
A Day in the Life of a High School Student
High school students at Grand Canyon Private Academy experience a flexible college-preparatory learning environment designed to support both academic achievement and personal growth. Students attend live seminars, complete independent coursework, collaborate with classmates, and participate in teacher-supported instruction throughout the week.
Many students balance online learning with athletics, travel, hobbies, or extracurricular activities while remaining connected to a supportive virtual school community.
Students may also participate in clubs, enrichment opportunities, and virtual campus experiences designed to strengthen engagement and student connection.

A Day in the Life of a GCPA Online Student
K12-powered online schools, like GCPA, are tailored to meet the diverse learning needs of all students. A day in the life of one of our students is just as unique as they are. A typical school day, however, usually consists of:
- Attending scheduled online classes
- Completing interactive activities and assignments
- Completing offline activities and assignments
- Receiving support and instruction from certified teachers
- Participating in online or in-person extracurricular activities and clubs*
Graduates of K12-powered schools follow testing, accountability, and attendance policies. This means that high school graduates earn a high school diploma.
