Courseware (Imagine Edgenuity) is our comprehensive online curriculum for high school students, offering 900+ rigorous courses.

Here's everything you need to know to get your student started successfully within the FA Flexiverse.

What is Courseware?

Courseware provides NCAA-approved courses for grades 6-12, covering core subjects, electives, world languages, test prep, career and technical education (CTE), and Advanced Placement® courses. It's designed to help students meet their personal academic goals, whether they need rigorous coursework to accelerate learning or the opportunity to recover credits.

Getting Started: Course Selection

Unlike MyPath, Courseware requires you to select specific courses for your student. After receiving your login credentials, you'll need to:

  1. Watch the Courseware Training Video (provided in your welcome email)

  2. Follow the course selection instructions to choose appropriate courses

  3. Plan your student's course schedule based on their academic goals

  4. We do not limit the number of courses that students can take at one time.

Need help with course selection? Visit our Virtual Campus during business hours, and our team will guide you through the process and help you plan a course schedule that meets your student's goals.
