The Virtual High School (online courses)

Woodstock Union High School is now offering online courses to a limited number of students each year through the the Virtual High School.  Virtual High School is a non-profit consortium of schools that offer full-semester online courses to the participating schools' students. WUHSMS joined the consortium in September 2006.  In exchange for a school freeing one teacher one period a day to teach an online VHS course, that school receives 25 student seats each semester, and its25 students can take any course in the VHS course catalog.

Virtual High School offers over 200 full semester courses in Arts, Business, English Language Arts, Foreign Language, Life Skills, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Technology. In addition, VHS offers 22 Advanced Placement (AP) full year courses and 11 Pre-Advanced Placement courses to participating students. All core courses are NCAA accredited.

Students participating in VHS NetCourses not only receive rigorous course content in their courses; they also have the opportunity to participate with other students from other states in a virtual classroom learning experience. Students who take online courses are gaining many of the skills such as multimedia presentation skills, online collaboration and communication, assessment of online resources, and online team-building skills that are essential to the 21st Century learner.

If you think you may benefit from participating in a VHS course, visit the VHS web site and check out the course catalogue. When you find a course that meets your needs, download and fill out the forms below and submit them to Mr. Bango in room 8.

It is also important to understand that VHS courses are not meant to act as a scheduling alternative or a scheduling "fix" but rather an opportunity to explore topics and themes beyond what is offered at WUHS.
