The
mission of The Virtual High School is to develop and deliver
standards-based, student-centered online courses that increase
educational opportunities and 21st century skills, and to provide
professional development to educators that expand the scope and depth of
their instruction.
Our Beliefs:
- VHS believes that
student-centered online courses can be designed and delivered to promote
a high quality, collaborative learning environment where student
exchange and interaction is a valued component of the instructional
process.
- VHS believes that education
need not be limited by barriers of time, place or availability; and
that online learning should offer students the benefits of
highly-qualified faculty and an innovative curriculum made up of
diverse, exciting learning opportunities in a global classroom.
- VHS believes that online
teaching should enhance, rather than replace, traditional classrooms to
provide solutions for schools needing an expanded curriculum, teachers
seeking the latest skills, and students looking to stay competitive
through cutting-edge, quality instruction.
- VHS believes that the goals of education are
advanced best by putting value and service first, and that a
collaborative network of schools can become part of an abundant and
generous educational community that promotes the affordable sharing of
professional resources.
