Online social events will provide students with fun and less structured opportunities to get to know each other. In cases where we have multiple students in a particular area, we can have face-to-face gatherings as well!
Clubs and Activities
Our learning management system provides not only courses, but also the means to interact for many other purposes. We will have numerous clubs and interest groups in which all full-time and part-time students can participate.
Activities include:
- Digital Photography/Video Club
- Chess Club
- Scuba Diving Club
- Movies & Music Club
- Drama Club
- Art Club
- Social Action/Human Rights Club
- And many more, depending on the interests of our students!
Our Creative Writing Club offers students at the GLBTQ Online High
School the opportunity to explore the rich and powerful cultural
history of LGBTQ storytelling, develop their own storytelling voice,
and create an affirming community of writers. Through weekly writing
prompts, discussion topics, and activities we will examine the
transformative power of storytelling and explore the ways in which we
can use it to create a more affirming world for LGBTQ people.
The club will be facilitated by queer author Sassafras Lowrey, and
will feature guest visits by leading LGBTQ authors, artists, and
performers. Students will also have the option of participating in
collaborative projects, culminating in the creation of public blogs,
zines, websites, podcasts, vlogs etc. This club is open to all
students, and participants prior experience will range from folks who
do not consider themselves to be writers, to those experienced with
sharing their stories through written word.
