♦Here is the website of the North Carolina Virtual Public School, an alternative way to obtain a public education on the internet in North Carolina. Virtual education is the wave of the future in our state as more families seek alternatives to standard public education.
According to North Carolina Virtual Public School: “NC Virtual Public School is a leader in virtual learning for students. Nearly 50,000 secondary students across the state are enrolled in courses from over 150 Advanced Placement, Honors, Traditional, Credit Recovery, and Occupational Course of Study Blended course offerings. Our students come from all 115 school districts in North Carolina as well as many charter schools. Additionally, NCVPS is open to non-public school students. Collaborative learning is core to the NCVPS model, so courses will utilize real-time and asynchronous collaborative tools, audio and video, blogs, and cutting-edge assessment tools. Most importantly, courses pair students with highly qualified NC licensed faculty members from around the world. By virtue of our online course delivery, students from all areas of our state now have access to courses and highly qualified teachers in subjects that they may not have available at their local school. Our state has truly achieved the goal of providing quality learning opportunities to every North Carolina student regardless of zip code. – See more at: http://www.ncvps.org/#sthash.C60c6b6H.dpuf “
