Academics

Academics and virtual learning have become increasingly intertwined, revolutionizing the education landscape. Virtual learning leverages digital technologies and online platforms to deliver educational content and facilitate remote learning. This approach offers numerous benefits, including accessibility and flexibility. Students can access educational resources from anywhere, overcoming geographical barriers. Additionally, virtual learning provides flexible scheduling, enabling students to learn at their own pace and accommodate their individual needs. The availability of diverse digital resources, such as multimedia materials, enhances the learning experience. Virtual learning continues to shape the future of academics by expanding educational opportunities and creating new possibilities for students and educators alike.

Concurrent Credit

In accordance to Board Policy IDCE, students may earn college credit while still in high school through a local college, university, or technical school. Students must meet with and receive permission from ESVL staff before taking the course to ensure courses meet high school graduation requirements. Tuition is the responsibility of the student. 

ESVL may have agreements with post-secondary institutions for students to attend either in person or online courses without having to seek these opportunities independently. Families are encouraged to discuss opportunities with ESVL staff when creating their Individual Plan of Study.                                                                                                                                                                                      
Students participating in concurrent courses through post-secondary institutions will be required to include an offline activity log of their time working on their courses as well as proof of any submissions of work through the Learning Management System for attendance and for required audit dates. Any in-person classes cannot be used for required audit dates. Students attending in-person programs will not be able to include this time for the mandatory audit date.
