Through the Virtual Academy, Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. students will be able to take for-credit classes online, on their own time.

Available courses will range from remedial help to Advanced Placement, and they come from all core subject areas, said Jason Bailey, the school district’s director of e-learning and instructional technology.

Regular classroom teachers also will be able to supplement their courses with material from the Virtual Academy, Bailey said.

“We also want to encourage students to think how this curriculum could help them get where they want to be,” Bailey said.

The EVSC is partnering with the Indiana University High School and Apex Learning, a provider of digital course curriculum.

The IU High School has students enrolled from 48 states and 35 countries. Apex Learning has served 660,000 students across the nation and world since 1999.
