academic courSe online Most of our academic courses are now taught through an online program called APEX. Being online allows us to offer many other choices with more up-to-date material which students find more relevant. It also meets California academic standards and in most cases qualifies for A-G credit. Courses are often completed in a timelier manner due to the fact that students can work on their courses anytime, even at home. Our Academic Study Center (ASC) will have Chromebooks available to work with. Instructional support will also be available with both a teacher and an aide. Tests must be taken in the Academic Study Center (ASC) under the auspices of a proctor. For more information, please visit our website: www.tri-communityadulted.org.
