Online Academy

CEHD has partnered with Frederick, Loudoun, and Stafford County Public Schools to develop the Virtual High School Collaborative. Twenty-five high school teachers, supported by their school divisions and George Mason, work within the framework of advanced graduate study to create web-based instructional materials. The program’s Online Academy enables high school students to meet their educational goals through online courses that reflect the content areas of Virginia’s Standards of Learning, school divisions’ curriculum guidelines, and relevant text-based materials. The project recently received the Governor's Technology Award in the category of “Innovation in K–12 Education,” which recognizes the innovative use of technology to provide improved service delivery to Virginia’s high school students.
