Distance Learning/Miscellaneous

All Cambridge students will have access to various distance learning classes each school year. The variety of classes is dependent upon courses available through the distance learning network from other schools each year. Due to the limited availability in some courses, enrollment is based on grade level seniority.

Course Offerings

AP Psychology – 1 Credit

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the systematic and scientific study of the behavior and mental processes of human beings and other animals. The course content will be integrated with case studies, experimentation and student research. This course culminates in an advanced placement examination in psychology which enables students to receive college credit for high performance on the test.

Marine Science – 1 Credit

This class is about the ocean and ocean life. Students will explore the history of the ocean, marine environments, bacteria, algae, marine plants, marine invertebrates, marine worms, fishes, marine reptiles, birds and mammals. This course includes hands-on projects, computer-based projects as well as traditional lecture-based instruction. Students will also participate in virtual field trips.

Student Aide – .5 or 1 Credit (or community service hours)

Students will have the opportunity to work with a sponsor teacher within Cambridge Central School. It is the student’s responsibility to report to their sponsor teacher on the days that they agree upon. Open to 11th and 12th graders, this experience is intended to encourage students to give back as well as serve as a positive role model to the younger elementary students they work with.

Work Based Learning (Grades 9-12) – .5 or 1 Credit

The Work Based Learning experience at CCS can be used to fulfill a number of requirements in the High School course of study. This course is designed to support students in their employability skills and building an employability profile for the Career and Development Occupational Studies (CDOS) Credential, support students working toward their General Equivalency Diploma (GED) and/or an Internship Program for seniors that choose to work in the field of study for part of their day in preparation for their post-graduation employment. The Work Based Learning Coordinator will work with students to access their employability profiles and coordinate the field experience. Students may be required to submit reports at least twice a quarter to monitor their progress and the Work Based Learning Coordinator will also perform site visits to ensure the student is working to their potential while working with the job site to support coaching for a successful experience with the goal of acquiring employment in that field after the experience.
