Distance Learning Policies

Higher Heights Private School provides a flexible, Christian‑based distance learning program designed to support students as they complete their high school diploma. To ensure academic integrity and student success, all students are expected to follow the policies below.

Online Coursework

• Students complete coursework through our online learning platform using BJU Press curriculum and materials.

• Assignments must be submitted by the deadlines listed in each course.

• Students are responsible for maintaining reliable internet access and keeping copies of all submitted work.

Attendance & Engagement

• Distance learning requires consistent weekly participation.

• Students must log in regularly, complete assigned lessons, and communicate with their Educational Coach as needed.

• Extended periods of inactivity may result in academic review or withdrawal from the program.

Test Proctoring Requirements

To maintain academic integrity, all exams are proctored by Higher Heights Educational Coaches, either online or in person.

Proctoring Options

Online Proctoring:  

• Your Educational Coach may schedule a virtual proctoring session. During this session, the Coach will supervise the exam and submit the test directly to the school.

In‑Person Proctoring:  

• Students may also complete exams in person with their Educational Coach when available.

Proctor Responsibilities

• Verify the student’s identity

• Supervise the exam from start to finish

• Ensure no unauthorized materials are used

• Submit the completed exam to the school

Students must follow all testing instructions and attend their scheduled proctoring sessions on time.

Educational Coach Assignment

Every Higher Heights student is paired with an Educational Coach who provides support throughout the program.

Your Educational Coach Will:

• Help you set goals and stay on track

• Provide encouragement, accountability, and regular check‑ins

• Assist with organization, study skills, and time management

• Communicate with Student Support Services when needed

• Proctor all exams online or in person

Educational Coaches do not teach or grade coursework; they guide, support, and motivate students as they work through their program.
