About Us / Virtual Virginia and the Virtual Advanced Placement Schoo

About Us

The Virginia Virtual Advanced Placement School (VVAPS) offers online AP and foreign language courses to students across the commonwealth and nation. The courses utilize the Desire2Learn course management software to maximize the interactivity of each class. Each course contains video segments, audio clips, whiteboard and online discussions as well as text. E-Teachers are available for telephone conversations with students throughout the school day. VVAPS classes offer a rich multimedia learning environment that appeals to a variety of learning styles. VVAPS courses can be scheduled flexibly throughout the day, as courses do not have to be taken in 'real' time.

Students in middle and high schools who meet the prerequisites may enroll through their schools. The deadline for registering students is the end of the first week of school for your district. The deadline for spring semester 4X4 block courses is the first week of the spring semester.

Virtual learning is the new frontier in today’s educational institutions. The technology of the 21st century provides a unique opportunity for educators to reach students who want the experience of Advanced Placement coursework.
