On April 15, registration for Charlottesville High School's VIRTUAL Summer Academy will open. These online, six-week classes are an opportunity to earn high school credits in the areas of health, PE, and economics & personal finance.

MORE INFORMATION
Overview and Requirements (Virtual Summer Courses):
Virtual Summer Academy is a rigorous program designed to offer students the opportunity to complete up to 1 credit. Students are tasked to complete a year's worth of activity in six weeks. Therefore, the courses are intensive and demanding. Students will be expected to perform at their maximum level to pass a virtual course.
Virtual Course Expectations:
  • All virtual summer school courses are 6 weeks in length.

  • This is a fast paced session, students are expected to turn in assignments by their due date. Any late/missing submissions will receive a 50%.
  • Students can work ahead on course work and are expected to do so for planned absences such as vacations or camps.
Virtual PE Injury and Illness Policy:
  • Our online summer school program does not provide an alternate PE curriculum for students with injuries or illness that prevent them from completing course work for extended periods of time. (ex. Broken bone, major acute illness, etc.)Students are encouraged to take the course face to face or virtual during the school year when they are well.
  • If a student is unable to complete the PE curriculum due to injury or illness, they will be removed from the course and will need to contact their school counselor regarding scheduling in the future.
  • Please notify your instructor immediately if an extenuating illness or injury occurs so you can be withdrawn from the course(s) impacted.
