Virtual High Schools: Is the Virtual School Curriculum Aligned to the State's Academic Standards?
State academic standards are enacted to ensure that all students are given access to the same basic content that the state has identified as important for success. This database lists whether or not the state's virtual high school must meet the same standards.
Why does it matter?
Students benefit when they are assured equitable rigor in instruction and curriculum.
States benefit when they ensure the quality of virtual school programs.
Highlights:
Twenty-seven states align the virtual high school curriculum to the state’s academic standards.
