South Carolina Virtual School Program

From Researching Virtual Initiatives in Education

The South Carolina Virtual School Program (SCVSP) was piloted in 2006 by US state of South Carolina's Department of Education.

It had 17,100 course enrollments in 2009-10, at the high school level.

Its goal is to provide rigorous online courses to help increase the on-time graduation rate throughout the state. SCVSP is a part-time supplemental programme that works with existing diploma-granting public, private and home schools. It provides access to content recovery programmes for students who have not, or are not likely to, received credit for a course previously taken (i.e. credit recovery).
