Extend the School Curriculum
The ANGEL Learning Management Suite (LMS) is specifically designed to extend the school curriculum and facilitate distance learning. Whether the need is for complete on-line learning solutions, or hybrid or blended offerings that enhance the traditional classroom, the ANGEL LMS provides the capabilities needed. With the ANGEL LMS, schools and districts can:
- Create equity for all students
- Offer AP classes to high-performing students
- Increase graduation rates with credit recovery options
- Engage homebound students
- Support alternative and at-risk students
- Offer an alternative summer school program
- Keep school "open" during emergencies and closures
- Facilitate 1:1 laptop initiatives
Virtual Flexibility
The ANGEL LMS removes many of the more traditional barriers to teaching and learning. With the ANGEL's anytime, anywhere access, high quality courses and highly qualified teachers are available how, when, and where students need them. Teaching and learning are no longer limited to physical facilities or set time frames. For on-line classes, ANGEL automation enables districts to offer open entry/open exit classes or classes coordinated with school schedules. For hybrid or blended offerings, the ANGEL's 24/7/365 access provides students the opportunity to participate beyond the regular school day and on weekends.

See how Credenda Virtual High School in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada uses the ANGEL LMS to meet educational needs that can not be met in local communities. Credenda now successfully serves students throughout Saskatchewan, a Canadian province of 227,000 miles.
Broadened Opportunities
The ANGEL LMS increases learning opportunities for all types of students. Whether it be providing advanced offerings to high-performing students, credit recovery options to struggling or at-risk students, or providing home-bound students the opportunity to participate, the ANGEL LMS assures that all students' needs can be met.

See how Jefferson County Public Schools' virtual high school in Louisville, Kentucky has used ANGEL to serve more than 30,000 students since its inception. One of the largest school districts in the U.S., the virtual high school enables students to recover credits or access advanced classes not offered in local schools.
Creative Solutions
The ANGEL LMS offers schools and districts a creative and cost effective way to not only broaden learning opportunities, but to keep classes in session and schools "open" when it might not otherwise be possible to do so. Distance learning can facilitate a creative summer school option without the cost of maintaining a physical location. During emergencies or other school closings, schools can continue to serve students regardless of their location. Teachers on leave can also stay connected with their classes, keeping up-to-date and involved with their students.
Effective 1:1 Laptop Management
The ANGEL LMS also makes it possible to effectively implement and manage 1:1 laptop initiatives. ANGEL provides an effective means to keep students engaged in every class throughout the day, as well as extend their learning outside of the school. Teachers also benefit from the vast array of curriculum and classroom management capabilities, simplifying their management of the program.

Effective Consortia Support
 |
The ANGEL LMS makes it easy for consortia or districts and schools with multiple locations to easily mnage the ANGEL LMS across the enterprise. With ANGEL's Institutional Directory functionality, an organization can use one instance of ANGEL for multiple schools and manage them from a central location.
Tools provide support for distributing system administration work; segmenting and organizing courses, groups, users, and learning object repositories; creating meaningful units for reporting purposes; and managing large numbers of students. The partitioning tools also address privacy concerns by not allowing students from different units to see students in other units.
