Virtual Program

The Virtual Learning Program is for families who would like their child to receive instruction from home. Under this model, students will be taught virtually by a certified Clayton County Public Schools teacher. The 2023-2024 district Virtual Learning Program (VLP) will be offered through a stand-alone virtual academy. The teachers will be allotted to the academy to serve those K-12 students who are accepted. The Virtual Learning Program is for students in Grades K-12 and is tuition free. Because of the design of the new Virtual Learning Program and design of the courses, magnet program theme-based courses will not be offered to Virtual Learning Program students.

Please visit the Clayton County Public Schools Virtual Learning Program website for more information regarding 2023-2024 course offerings.
