Virtual instruction Program

Serving Inderkum and Natomas High Schools.

Your Schedule. Your Space. Your Success.

Ready to Start

Natomas Unified’s 9-12 Virtual instruction Program (ViP) is a program of choice for NUSD students enrolled at either Inderkum or Natomas High Schools that gives students and families options and flexibility in how their learning is scheduled.

For students in grades 9-12, this is a virtual instructional learning model with a blended learning schedule at Inderkum High School and Natomas High Schools.

The ViP is intended to be an educational commitment, a long term learning alternative to traditional schools, and not a temporary alternative.

Students still have access to elective courses, athletics/sports, ASB events, extracurricular activities, and CTE courses at their home high school at either Inderkum or Natomas High School.

ViP Fact Sheet

Virtual instruction Program is ideal for students who benefit from flexibility, personalization, and different pathways to learning. In particular, it works well for:

- Students who need flexible schedules due to health needs, mental health support, work obligations, caregiving responsibilities, or athletics/arts commitments.
- Students who thrive in independent or self-paced learning environments, with the ability to manage time and stay organized with adult support.
- Students who experience anxiety or challenges in traditional school settings, and do better in smaller, less stimulating, or home-based learning environments.
- Students with unique learning needs who benefit from individualized support.
- Students who require continuity of learning due to mobility, temporary placement changes, or other life circumstances.

When paired with strong teacher engagement, consistent attendance expectations, and family partnership, the Virtual instruction Program can provide an effective, supportive option that helps students stay connected, make academic progress, and graduate on track.
