VIRTUAL HIGH SCHOOL (VHS)
MHS contracts with VHS to provide students the opportunity to pursue courses online that are not offered onsite.
Out of 200 courses, VHS offers more than 20 AP® options.
Registration for courses takes place in early May and students must obtain the approval of a parent/guardian as well as guidance counselor in order to be considered for the program. Students will receive information and forms at information sessions.
Check out the VHS website to learn more.
WHO SHOULD CONSIDER VHS?
Students should be able to budget their time wisely.
Students need to devote time every day to their online course.
Students must be self-directed and proactive in terms of doing work and communicating with their teachers, in much the same way they will do when in college.
VHS operates on a slightly different academic calendar than MHS to accommodate all member schools and in consideration of the AP® testing schedule in May.
AP® courses incur a VHS administrative fee of $75/per course, which parent/guardian may be required to pay once student is registered.
Some AP® courses incur an additional lab fee, which varies by course, which parent/guardian must pay once student is registered.
