About Virtual Schools
A virtual school operates on an online learning platform and offers courses pertaining to various fields entirely through digital methodologies. These schools provide students an opportunity to learn at home from certified teachers and using a core curriculum. They also help them earn credits in the desired field, which can be cited when applying for admission to higher education.
