The Department of Defense Education Activity’s virtual high school is an accredited distance-learning program for military students, whether they’re geographically separated, transitioning between schools or just dealing with a scheduling conflict.
“It’s a wonderful opportunity to close gaps and enhance students’ educational experience in a 21st century environment,” Marilee Fitzgerald, the activity’s acting director, said. “I think it opens up possibilities for learning that we have yet to understand, yet to explore.”
The virtual school offers students 48 online courses in a wide range of disciplinary areas, including foreign language, math, science, social studies, language arts and physical education, as well as 15 advanced placement courses. The school also is equipped to offer English as a second language and special education, Patricia Riley, chief of the activity’s distance learning and virtual school, said.
