E-Academy

Derby's E-Academy offers a flexible online learning opportunity for the 2025-2026 school year! Open to any Kansas student in grades 6-12, this program features a blended education model designed to adapt to each family’s unique needs. Edgenuity, the online curriculum that will be utilized, aligns with Kansas Core standards. Derby’s E-Academy will offer two instructional models that families can decide what fit their child's learning needs best. Instructional models include:

• 100% Virtual: All learning is completed online with required twice per month check-ins with a certified Derby virtual teacher. Option to attend scheduled drop-in support sessions with small groups of students and staff. Support sessions are offered both during the day and some evenings.

• Hybrid Learning: Combining online and in-person instruction, this offers the benefits of flexible scheduling, personalized learning experiences and opportunities for direct interaction

Instructional support is available for students with IEPs, 504s and ELL plans. There are no fees to enroll, however, if a student needs a device to complete online coursework, they can choose to receive a district-issued Chromebook and pay a $40 non-refundable technology fee to be paid upon enrollment. The device would need to be returned in good condition when the student completes the E-Academy program. Student supplies will be requested on a course-by-course basis.
