Online Academic / Enrichment Courses in USA

The VHS Collaborative:
Based in Massachusetts, The VHS Collaborative is a non-profit global collaborative of schools that provides over 200 online semester and full year academic courses to middle school and high school students in the US and around the world. We offer courses in Mathematics, Science, English Language Arts, Foreign Language, Arts, Business, Life Skills, Social Studies, and Technology. Courses follow a set academic schedule, but students can complete their work online at anytime day or night, as long as you meet your specified due dates. Students interested in a future career can take one of our specialized courses in Entrepreneurship, Screenwriting, Forensic Science, or even Nuclear Physics.

We can help you whether you are searching for a course you can take outside of the normal school day, a subject not offered at your school, or need to work around a scheduling conflict. Homeschooled students also benefit from our core and elective course catalog. Many parents and students partner with VHS to get quality learning at home or on the road, with the guidance of our specially trained teachers in a virtual classroom setting.
