The Virtual Learning Academy Charter School (VLACS) is New Hampshire's first statewide, on-line high school that is available, free of charge, to all high school students who live in New Hampshire.  Every VLACS course is taught by highly qualified, New Hampshire state certified instructors. Instructors and students interact regularly through email, voice mail, telephone conversations, and instant messenger. Students are encouraged to contact the instructor when there is a need of any kind.  Instructors  speak via telephone with students and their parents at least once per month.

Upon entering the course, students have access to ALL assignments, but access to tests or quizzes may not be available until certain assignments have been completed. Students move sequentially through the course but may be allowed to occasionally move ahead or test out of certain areas, pending instructor approval.  Every graded assessment is recorded in the student’s personal grade book, which is available to ALL parents who know the student’s user name and password—something we highly recommend! Routinely monitoring grades allows you to see student progress over time. All graded assignments and current overall grade average are available for viewing.

Each student is required to submit a specific amount of work each week to maintain the appropriate pace decided on by instructor and student. The number of required weekly submissions depends on the course taken. Failure to maintain pace results in warnings, reduced grades and, if unheeded, withdrawal from the course.  All VLACS courses have a Pace Chart embedded in them. This allows students to know exactly what is expected to be submitted on a weekly basis, whether they choose a traditional, extended or accelerated pace. Instructors assist students in modifying the chart to reflect their chosen pace.
