At Harris Digital Learning, we partner with districts to deliver high-impact online and blended learning experiences for students in grades 6–12. Our standards-aligned eCourses are built by a team of seasoned instructional designers and certified educators, focused on helping districts drive academic achievement. Every course is grounded in a research-based instructional model and structured to provide a seamless learning experience—no matter the subject or grade level.
Consistency and quality are at the core of our curriculum.
Each eCourse lesson presents instruction required for mastery in a wide range of modalities, ensuring that students can engage with the curriculum through text, audio, video, and interactive practice. If this mastery is not met, each eCourse is equipped with responsive instruction in order to ensure each student reaches mastery of the content. This approach develops critical reading, writing and communication skills that are a key to future success. Additionally, self-motivated students can work independently to explore lesson content in more detail. This course type is ideal for the college-bound student.
Mastery-Driven Learning
Here's How It Works
Structured to Support Deep Understanding
Districts are always exploring the best ways to promote real learning versus the passive progression typical in online learning programs. To support this priority, our courses are designed around a unique cycle of learning, assessment, and re-teaching. This strategy supports our students to be well prepared to progress to future lessons and achieving mastery of the course material
