Virtual High School

Unlike classes offered by other online course providers, all Virtual High School (VHS) classes are teacher facilitated. Class sizes are limited to 25, and there is an emphasis on interaction between teachers and students. Activities are student-centered and discussion and group activities are a part of each VHS course.

Virtual High School classes take place entirely over the Internet. There is no need for special software or hardware. Anywhere students have access to the Internet they can take a VHS class! Students can post work to their class anytime, day or night.

VHS classes are offered in a scheduled asynchronous mode. That means that classes follow a semester schedule and assignments are due at specified weekly intervals. However, students can complete their work at anytime during the week, as long as work is posted by specified due dates.

All VHS courses are monitored regularly, and adhere to the National Education Association’s (NEA) recommended course guidelines for high quality online courses.
