South Medford High School offers flexible learning options for students who need an alternative to full-time, in-person classes while maintaining high academic standards. Students can choose between the Full Online Option or the Hybrid Option.
Online Course Overview
- Partnership with Edgenuity provides a wide range of standard college-preparatory courses that meet Oregon graduation requirements.
- Courses can be completed fully online or blended with in-person electives, CTE classes, and other campus offerings.
How Online Courses Work
- Orientation Week – Students meet with the Hybrid/Online Counselor or Staff, review program expectations, and learn where to access in-person support & online curriculum.
- Independent Coursework – Follow the course map with due dates; complete lessons, videos, quizzes, writing assignments, and projects.
- Final Exams – All final exams must be taken in person.
- Location: Room D-203 or D-204
- Time: 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM
- Sign-Up: Students can schedule their exam through Canvas or arrange a time between 1st–7th periods.
- Once a final exam is completed, the course is finished.
Full Online Option
For students taking 4+ online courses
In-Person Requirements:
- Final Exams: Must be completed in Room D-203 or D-204 as outlined above.
- Learn Lab Attendance: Attend when assigned.
- Progress: Stay on schedule; falling behind without attending in person results in an absence.

- Are you self-motivated and able to manage your time effectively?
