"We know teachers and parents need high-quality resources," says State School Superintendent Dr. John Barge. "[The state] developed these textbooks and other resources for middle and high school virtual school courses, and the students who have used them have been very successful. Much of their success can be attributed to these exceptional resources in the hands of our teachers."

The textbooks are currently available for middle and high school courses. They cover an array of content areas, including Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, CTAE Electives, and World Languages (like Spanish, German, French, Latin, Chinese, and Japanese). You'll find textbooks available from courses like Coordinate Algebra, Analytic Geometry and Biology to Web Design, Agriculture and Healthcare Science.

The textbooks feature supplemental and interactive content, including study guides, discussion questions, games and quizzes. Students can hover over vocabulary words to views their definitions. In a "Fundamentals of Web Design" CTAE course, students can take interactive quizzes as they learn HTML.

The resources are aligned to the Common Core Georgia Performance Standards and are free for use by students.
