Welcome to My Virtual Highschool. A virtual highschool describes an institution that teaches courses entirely or primarily through online methods. Though there are tens of thousands of commercial and non-accredited courses available online, the term “virtual highschool” is generally reserved for accredited highschools that teach a full-time course of instruction designed to lead to highschool graduation.

All student services are conducted through Internet technology. The virtual highschool differs/contrasts from the traditional school through the physical media that links administrators, teachers and students and is an alliance of public distance learning schools. Many states in the United States have their own virtual highschool, and many of them have students numbering in the thousands. By providing a student’s social security number the person is then entered into a database where they can choose which classes they want to take.

There are many different virtual highschool instructional and enrollment models. Instructional models range from fully independent self paced courses to semester based, teacher facilitated courses. Class sizes range widely with anywhere from 25 students to as many as 200 students in each class section.

Educational institutions have a mission to prepare students for a
changing world – but do we actually do this? While the core
curriculum is important, we need to also prepare our students for
our technologically changing world. All students should
confidently handle and compose emails, participate in online
conferences and bulletin boards, navigate and create electronic
content (i.e. web sites), and use instant messaging with proper
etiquette.

A handful of schools have taken their websites beyond the basic
informational format. They are developing web communities that
allow students, parents and educators to communicate freely online.

Combining technology and education is the present and future of
teaching and learning. Many educators and boards are intimidated and
uncertain about incorporating many of these technological advances
into their systems, however, incorporating technology into the
classroom will not only facilitate learning but enhance it.

Below are some feature that an online community provides
for educators and administrators.
