Monticello 882 Online

We are very excited about the success of our Monticello 882 Online program in its inaugural year. While we believe that the majority of students learn best in-person, we know that there are a variety of learning styles and family dynamics that make online education a more viable option for a number of our students and families. With that in mind, we are thrilled to continue growing Monticello 882 Online to help us best meet the needs of our entire student body and school community. If you’d like more information about Monticello 882 Online, I encourage you to watch this video highlighting many of the benefits and opportunities that come with the program.
