The idea for the Virtual High School began in 1995, when the Virtual High School and the Huron County Board of Education in Ontario (now the Avon-Maitland District School Board) began exploring the concept of offering online courses over the Internet. This pioneering idea forged an insightful partnership among teachers, curriculum writers and Board personnel, under the inspired leadership of the now retired Director of Education for A.M.D.S.B., Paul Carroll. The partnership resulted in the offering of the first totally online high school course in Canada - Introductory Biology (spring 1996) and later, Canadian Literature (fall 1996).

The partnership between A.M.D.S.B. and the Virtual High School came to an amicable end and on March 4, 2002, the Ministry of Education and Training of Ontario issued the BSID number, 665681, to the Kitchener-Waterloo Private School designating it as an accredited private school as described in the Education Act of Ontario. In the summer of 2006, the name of the school was condensed to Virtual High School (Ontario) to reflect what it is that our school is all about. The Virtual High School (Ontario) now offers extremely high quality OSSD online high school courses.
