Carthage High School’s

Virtual Learning CenterA Virtual Learning Experience

Virtual Learning Center classes are similar to on-line correspondence courses except students have more help with their coursework.

Students can expect to spend about 80% to 90% of their time on the computer, and the rest of their time on off-line assignments like writing, videos, and novels.

There are 50 core curriculum and elective classes available.

All Virtual Learning Center classes are free to Carthage High School students.

Potential students must meet with the Virtual Learning Center staff for paperwork, procedures, and expectations. Virtual Learners will be paired with a Volunteer Supervising Adult.

Consistent progress is mandatory. Students must meet with their agreed upon Supervising Adult at least once per week, or as directed, to monitor progress.

The Virtual Learning Center staff is responsible for correcting any computer problems or questions about the computer. Please call 359-7045, email, or come by the Main Location for assistance.

Students are expected to make arrangements with the Virtual Learning Center staff to work on those assignments that must be completed at the Main Location.

All assignments must be satisfactorily completed before a grade or credit is issued. Incomplete work or zeros are not accepted.

The Virtual Learning Experience is just another example of how the Carthage R-9 school district is meeting the needs of their students and providing the best possible education available.

This innovative, alternative educational opportunity will not only enrich the lives of Carthage students and allow for a greater chance to achieve their goals of graduation, but will provide the flexibility and convenience needed in today’s fast-paced highly technical world.
