The Virtual Program is designed to provide a rigorous one- to three-year program of academic instruction for students talented in science and mathematics. Classes are held primarily online with lab days and events scheduled throughout the school year. Students attend the Virtual Program for two to four hours while remaining in their local high school for other academics, electives and extracurricular activities.
For the 2022-23 school year, we currently anticipate offering the following courses:
Algebra 2
AP Calculus BC (requires Algebra 2 and Physical Science or higher, Pre-calculus or Trig recommended)
AP Environmental Science
AP Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism and Calculus III/Differential Equations
AP Physics C: Mechanics
AP Statistics
* Courses are offered depending on instructor availability and student interest; additionally, if courses are offered in 2022-23, students may opt to take one or two classes only.
All courses are year-round starting in August. Students may attend from anywhere they can access the internet and have a computer. Students meet with instructors remotely, either from a classroom, library or even home. Additionally, students will meet with instructors in person (typically at the student’s high school or another centralized location) about once per month to work on labs or other activities.
Students can attend the Virtual Program up to three years by completing all options listed above.
