Homeschool Students

Virtual High School’s innovative approach to education allows students to study whenever and wherever they want. Homeschool students benefit from our flexible model, allowing them to earn credits towards an Ontario Secondary School Diploma at their own pace. VHS may be able to grant credits for successfully completing any level of high school outside of a traditional school setting. The homeschooling coach or parent must demonstrate that the student has mastered concepts equivalent to those included in the Ontario curriculum. This can provide the student with the opportunity to fully transfer to the Ontario education system to complete their OSSD.

Mature Students

At Virtual High School, we understand that everybody’s educational journey is unique. Some students may find that they need to take more time completing their courses or they may return to high school a little later in life. Our self-paced, online courses provide the perfect solution for adults looking for a convenient alternative to in-person night school or adult learning centers as a way to balance education and other commitments. Whether you wish to finish your diploma requirements, earn a prerequisite for college or university, or start a new career, VHS offers the flexibility and unwavering support that you need to pursue your dreams.
