VIRTUAL LEARNING ACADEMY (H)

Virtual Learning Academy (H) is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the Virtual Learning Academy Charter School school district, located in Exeter, NH with about 214 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 66 teachers, Virtual Learning Academy (H) has a student/teacher ratio of about 3:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The Virtual Learning Academy Charter School (VLACS) is a state-wide, tuition-free public charter school in New Hampshire that provides a fully online educational experience for students in grades 6 through 12. As a competency-based program, VLACS emphasizes the mastery of skills rather than traditional "seat time," allowing students to progress at their own pace. This flexible model is designed to accommodate a diverse range of learners, including those who need to balance their education with extracurricular activities, work, or other personal commitments.

The school offers a comprehensive curriculum that includes core academic subjects, honors and Advanced Placement (AP) courses, career and technical education (CTE), and unique experiential learning opportunities. Because the program is asynchronous, students can enroll at any time throughout the year, making it a popular choice for both full-time students and those looking to supplement their education with individual courses from their local districts. By leveraging digital tools and personalized instruction, VLACS aims to provide a high-quality, self-directed learning environment that prepares students for college and career success in the 21st century.
