The Virtual Home School offers quality, Internet-delivered online high school courses for students throughout the United States and abroad. Since 2004 The Virtual Home School has served over 3000 students.
We are the most affordable online high school in the United States, offering a quality online learning program for high school students. Examples of students participating in our programs are athletes, gifted, homeschoolers, actors, traditional, at-risk, remedial, and/or those experiencing problems in the traditional classroom.
As in face-to-face classes, online classes include a teacher, lessons, homework, class discussions, and tests. The main difference is the
activities occur over the Internet at a time that is convenient for
students. The Virtual Home School offers the hallmarks of truly
effective traditional education programs ? quality teachers, quality curriculum, and frequent student-teacher interaction except online.
All courses are taught by certified teachers and meet national and
state curriculum standards.
Through The Virtual Home School students have access to a wide range of coursework, flexibility in scheduling, developing capacities as independent learners, and more time to complete their coursework.
Crescent Prep offers an exceptional Online Home School program for your children. We understand the decision to homeschool as a parent and want to provide curriculum that will exceed your expectations.
Our curriculum offers a homeschool program that is designed to assist you with the everyday task of giving your child new and creative assignments. All of our online courses are instructed by certified teachers within their disciplines. Many of them have their Master's Degree. They do all grading, all mentoring and tutoring, as well as available via phone for immediate assistance.
With fully certified teachers available to assist, our parents, no longer have to study along with the students to explain concepts that they learned year ago. We make it easy to homeschool without the stress.
The Virtual Home School will begin offering Honors and AP courses for all students in the Fall 2008. We encourage students to strive for greatness and to excel.
