Online High School Courses
Wisconsin Virtual Learning (WVL) is a public virtual charter school. Our mission is to provide a personalized educational program to meet the individual learning needs of each of our students. Our passion is to do whatever it takes to help each child reach their full potential.
WVL offers a diverse selection of learning pathways including online classes, independent learning, and curriculum choices to best meet the individual learning styles and needs of each of our students.
This course catalog contains information for both students and parents about courses offered at Wisconsin Virtual Learning. It is subdivided by departments, which include descriptions of class offerings, recommendations, graduation requirements and alternate ways of earning credit. This information will assist students and parents in making decisions about course selections.
Student course selection should be guided by information collected from several sources – parents, school staff and printed materials. Student placement in courses will be determined on a case-by-case basis and will be guided by input and/or approval from school staff. Each year, students and parents should review student progress, making sure that requirements are being completed.
Virtual Pathway
Students access their courses, lessons, assignments, quizzes, tests, and submit work online. Students will move through their content in a traditional schedule. There will be designated class times throughout the week that your student will need to attend and obtain the information needed to be successful in the class. Along with core subject classes, there will be time for your student to meet with their Wisconsin state-certified teacher for extra help and enrichment. This pathway is best suited for the student and family that would like more structure and/or technology and academic support.
Independent Pathway
Students will move through the online curriculum at a pace that is similar to the teacher-paced classes or faster. A teacher will be assessing and providing feedback on a regular basis. If your child gets stuck on a concept, the teacher is there for guidance. This pathway is best suited for the child who masters concepts and skills at a faster pace and for the family who is looking for additional flexibility in their schedules. A child who struggles may be moved to the virtual pathway for intervention and support. Check-ins with the teachers may occur on a regular basis and will be determined by each student’s needs.
Blended Pathway
This is a mix of independent and virtual pathways. It is meant for students that are strong in one or two subjects but may need a little extra guidance and class time for the other subjects. Check-ins with the teachers may occur on a regular basis and will be determined by each student’s needs.
