Online courses in high school?

By ABBY KESSLER, Monadnock Ledger-Transcript

As the world becomes increasingly more digital, schools face the decision about whether or not they will offer online courses for credit. ConVal offers blended learning labs, which include online courses that provide students with options based on their needs. The district offers four types of online courses, two of which allow students to obtain high-school credit, one that offers credit recovery, and another that offers high-school credit and an adult high school diploma program. As of Friday, there were about 203 students enrolled in one of the four online programs. The majority of those students, 133, are enrolled in the Virtual Learning Academy Charter School, or VLACS, which provides students with more than 120 courses, 28 college courses and with 16 AP courses.
