About the Connecticut Virtual Learning Center
The CT Virtual Learning Center offers online supplemental courses to CT public high schools as a complement as well as an alternative to courses taken in traditional schools, not a replacement. Curriculum will engage students by connecting real world applications to learning through problem solving and/or project-based learning assignments.
Courses
- Core Curriculum courses on a per semester basis with a flexible enrollment schedule in order to assist students that have fallen off track to graduate high school on time. This option for credit recovery does not mean that students will be enrolled in remedial courses. Each semester based course is a full-rigor 16 week curriculum. While students can begin any time, a pacing schedule must be worked out between the school administration, the teacher and the student. Students will be expected to be working weekly or they will be considered inactive and will be dropped. Prerequisites must be strictly adhered to.
- Advanced Placement courses meant for students that may not have access to such opportunities as a part of their regular High School schedules. These will be available as full 32 or 18 week curriculums depending on whether they are full year or half year courses. Because Advanced Placement courses should be completed prior to the exam dates, these courses have strict beginning and ending dates. Students will be expected to begin working on the first week of class and to be actively working weekly or they will be considered inactive and will be dropped. Prerequisites must be strictly adhered to.
- Mandarin Chinese I and II will be offered. These are full-year 32 week curriculums with strict beginning and ending dates. Students will be expected to begin working on the first week of class and to be actively working weekly or they will be considered inactive and will be dropped. Prerequisites must be strictly adhered to.
