NCAA-Approved Courses for Student-Athletes


After completing an extensive evaluation, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has determined that
Imagine Edgenuity’s curriculum and instructional model are equivalent to face-to-face courses in length, content, and
rigor, and are approved for use by student-athletes. Schools can enroll student-athletes in Imagine Edgenuity courses
to ensure they are prepared to enter college with a rigorous online academic experience. Core courses for initial credit
are approved by the NCAA for use with Imagine Instructional Services. Schools and districts can also use Imagine
Edgenuity courses with their own teachers, but these implementations need to be reviewed by the NCAA to ensure
students are getting high-quality instruction. Students who need to recover credits must complete the full course to
receive credit from the NCAA even if they are recovering a credit; credit recovery versions or any courses with pretesting
or prescriptive testing are not approved by the NCAA.

EXPOSITORY READING AND WRITING


This elective English course is designed to develop critical
reading and writing skills while preparing high school
students to meet the demands of college-level work. While
students will explore some critical reading skills in fiction,
poetry, and drama the focus of this course will be on
expository and persuasive texts and the analytical reading
skills that are necessary for college success. Students will
read a range of short but complex texts, including works
by Walt Whitman, Abraham Lincoln, Cesar Chavez, Martin
Luther King Jr., Langston Hughes, Julia Alvarez, Edna St.
Vincent Millay, and Gary Soto.

INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNICATIONS AND SPEECH


Beginning with an introduction that builds student
understanding of the elements, principles, and
characteristics of human communication, this course offers
fascinating insight into verbal and nonverbal messages and
cultural and gender differences in the areas of listening and
responding. High school students enrolled in this course
will be guided through engaging lectures and interactive
activities, exploring themes of self-awareness and
perception in communication. The course concludes with
units on informative and persuasive speeches, and students
are given the opportunity to critique and analyze speeches.

AP STATISTICS
This yearlong, college-level course is designed to prepare
students for the Advanced Placement (AP) Statistics
exam. Major topics of study include exploring one-and
two-variable data, sampling, experimentation, probability,
sampling distributions, and statistical inference. These
topics are organized into three big ideas: variation and
distribution, patterns and uncertainty, data-based
predictions, decisions, and conclusions.

STATISTICS
This fourth-year high school math option provides a
comprehensive introduction to data analysis and statistics.
Students begin by reviewing familiar data displays
through a more sophisticated lens before diving into an
in-depth study of the normal curve. They then study and
apply simple linear regression and explore sampling and
experimentation. Next, students review probability concepts
and begin a study of random variables. Later topics also
include sampling distributions, estimating and testing
claims about proportions and means, and inferences and
confidence intervals.

TRIGONOMETRY*
In this one-semester course, students use their geometry
and algebra skills to begin their study of trigonometry.
Students will be required to express understanding using
qualitative, quantitative, algebraic, and graphing skills.
This course begins with a quick overview of right-triangle
relationships before introducing trigonometric functions and
their applications. Students explore angles and
radian measures, circular trigonometry, and the unit
circle. Students extend their understanding to trigonometric
graphs, including the effects of translations and the
inverses of trigonometric functions. This leads to the laws
of sines and cosines, followed by an in-depth exploration of

includes interactive virtual labs and hands-on lab options,
in which students ask questions and create hypotheses.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
Environmental science is a captivating and rapidly
expanding field, and this two-semester course offers
compelling lessons that cover many aspects of the field:
ecology, the biosphere, land, forests and soil, water, energy
and resources, and societies and policy. Through unique
activities and material, high school students connect
scientific theory and concepts to current, real-world
dilemmas, providing them with opportunities for mastery
in each of the segments throughout the semester.
