Check out the answers to the most commonly asked questions we receive from parents.
Students enrolled in our courses have a dedicated instructor and community of peers, just like a traditional course. But instead of being restricted to a specific time and place, our courses take place online and asynchronously. This means students can complete their coursework anytime, as long as they meet the deadlines and due dates set by their instructors. Using our online platform, they will communicate with their teacher, complete weekly coursework, and participate in discussions with classmates. The only thing VHS students require is a reliable internet connection and an electronic device with internet access. Although we do offer some flexible credit recovery courses, our standard courses follow the traditional semester and full-year schedule, with specific start and end dates. Our fall semester starts in September, and our spring semester in January.
All VHS Learning courses are led by qualified teachers actively guiding students by interacting in class discussions and private discussions with each student, along with grading assignments. Teachers will respond within 24 hours to student inquires Monday through Friday. Watch the following video to see what Esther said about her VHS teacher:
