Virtual High School

Virtual High School is a well-established, interactive, national distance learning program utilized in many schools around the world with tremendous success.

If your child needs to fit an extra class into an already full schedule, is interested in a course which is not available locally, or simply enjoys using technology and wants the challenge and flexibility of a high-quality online class, a Virtual High School course may be the right fit.  Virtual High School students have the opportunity to select from a full catalog of semester-length and full-year courses including core, elective, advanced placement (AP) and Pre-AP courses.  VHS believes in student-centered classes, which encourage collaboration among students. Therefore, VHS classes are scheduled asynchronously. This means that although the student has the flexibility to access his or her class anytime 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, there are defined due dates and scheduled deadlines for assignments and activities. This enables students and teachers from multiple time zones and various school schedules to participate fully in the same course, and it allows every student the ability to contribute equally to discussions.  Interested students should speak with their school counselor.  Space in VHS courses is limited. A companion section of VHS Online Coursework (# 9952) is a defined, no credit study period that is highly recommended to be added to a student’s schedule.

Students may utilize VHS courses to fulfill elective course requirements.  Virtual High School courses may be used to fulfill core course requirements in the event that a scheduling conflict cannot be resolved and with permission of the RHAM High School Counseling Coordinator.
