Part-Time Electives
Non-essential courses, sometimes called “electives” are available to all students, whether they are a full time virtual student, a homeschooler, a traditional public Hamilton Community Schools (HCS) student, or a non-public student accessing our programming through a shared-time arrangement with their nonpublic school. Courses such as Music, PE, and Art are just some of the opportunities that all students enrolled at HCS may take online. If taking an online class at one of our district's schools, supervision will be provided during the normal school day.
