I never knew that the Chicago Public Schools had Virtual High Schools and Middle Schools. This means that courses are available online for students. The population includes regular education learners, former drop outs, children who are home schooled, and alternative learners. Students take their classes via the Internet. Check out the CPS web page at www.cps.edu/Programs/Academic
There is also the Chicago Virtual Charter School (CVCS) for grades k-12. This is a full time tuition free public school option. The program is a combination of brick and mortar schooling and
on line learning. Books, materials, and loaner computer systems are provided. Currently there is a waiting list, but the program seems worth a look. The CVCS High School program serves students grade 9-11 who reside within Chicago City limits. This is a tuition free program with a stipend allocated to offset the cost of Internet access. There are currently summer programs available. Check out CVCS @ www.k12.com.cvcs.
Happy Summer learning Debi and Max
