Connecticut Adult Virtual High School

The Connecticut Adult Virtual High School (CT AVHS), funded by the State's Bureau of Health, Nutrition and Adult Education, provides students enrolled in Connecticut's Adult Credit Diploma Programs the option of earning credits online. The CT AVHS courses are divided into half credit segments and have a seat limit of 24. Students enrolled in a course will have students from any of the other participating adult education centers in their class with the teacher at a remote location. All teachers are CT certified. Course work is just as demanding as face to face classes. Some students find the course work to be a little more demanding of their time and effort. The online courses are designed specifically for the adult education student. All of the courses are designed to include class discussions, assignments, and one-on-one teacher interaction with students. Teachers have been trained to teach the online course asynchronously, (with the understanding that students will be logged on at different times of the day, and on different days of the week than their classmates, or the teacher). Each course contains six weeks’ worth of course material and is delivered in a schedule over an eight week period of time. Students needing to meet a full credit requirement can be enrolled in both half credit segments of a course. The second segment of each course will begin the week after the first segment ends.

To become a candidate in this program, you must first complete an online orientation before any course can be selected. You will be guided through this process with a mentor who will be assigned to you. The mentor will be your resource and liaison between the school and the Connecticut Virtual High School. Students may only take one online class per semester.

This course of study is for students who are motivated and have good time management skills. To become a student, please contact Joe Ferraiolo or John Albis (in the staff section) for further information.
