Welcome to NCVPS!
Current and future students, take a few minutes to learn about your state’s virtual high school. We offer complete, state-approved online courses to middle school and high school students throughout all of North Carolina. We also have classes for private school and home school students.
NCVPS courses are, of course, a great benefit to students. Here are just a few ways we can support your educational goals.
The flexibility of NCVPS courses allows students to catch up with their peers or advance quickly to higher levels. Thousands of students enroll in our summer session to get back on track, graduate early, or complete prerequisites for fall courses. Many middle school students complete their foreign language and Math 1 and 2 requirements before they enter high school. This allows them time to take more advanced classes, graduate early, or take course-intensive programs at their schools like band, theater, and ROTC.
Access to advanced courses brings equity to all North Carolina students. All students can now get the honors and AP classes that they might miss at their schools. This can boost their college applications to compete with any students from across the state or nation. All of our North Carolina students deserve the same chance for college admittance and scholarships.
NCVPS flexible scheduling and intervention courses can help students who have fallen behind or face barriers to graduation. Our intervention program focuses on the four courses that have been identified as the biggest barrier to graduation: Math I, Math II, Biology, and English II.
The 21st Century has brought us complex students with complicated scheduling issues. We have students on national-level athletic teams, performing in the entertainment industry, and students facing severe health issues. Those students can still have a quality education with NCVPS courses. Let us help you resolve those scheduling issues.
Next, we have three videos for you to watch. The first is a short animated video that will introduce you to our program. Next, we have a video that shows a day in the life of an NCVPS student. We finish with a detailed look at how our classes work.
After you watch the video, see the resources that we have below. They will all help you be a successful online student.
Thank you for checking out NCVPS. We will see you online!
