Virtual learning is about options. To compete in a global economy, kids need to learn in the classroom, on a computer, and through other technologies. A virtual public school means students have access to high quality teaching and learning regardless of their zip code.
WELCOME
The North Carolina Virtual Public School welcomes students, distance learning advisors, teachers and parents to the 2008-2009 school year!
With a total enrollment surpassing 25,000 students, NC Virtual Public School and Learn and Earn online continues to provide students with expanded academic options by offering online courses and online services such as test preparation, career planning services, and credit recovery to North Carolina students. By virtue of our online course delivery, students from all areas of our state will now have access to courses and highly qualified teachers in subjects that they may not have available at their local school.
