Bored This Summer? Consider Taking a Math or Science Class Through Kentucky Virtual Schools.

One of the most frequent questions we receive at the Academy is from parents and students who are not yet on track to complete Algebra II by the end of their sophomore year.  This question is simple: how can we do it?  One of the best options is to consider taking a class through the Kentucky Virtual Schools, an online option that offers courses in the summer and fall semesters.    Learn more about KVS from a message they send to counselors reprinted below:

Registration has been extended for Summer 2009 courses offered by the Kentucky Virtual High School.  Students from schools throughout Kentucky are taking interesting and challenging courses online through KVHS.  With approval of their local school, students may take courses that are not taught in their building or that do not fit into their busy schedules.  Because these courses are available on the Internet 24 hours a day, seven days a week, students can work from school, from a library and from home — from any Internet-connected computer to which they have regular access.  KVHS courses are taught by Kentucky-certified teachers and are aligned with the Program of Studies and Core Content.  To see the KVHS Course Catalog for a full description of all KVHS courses, click here.
