Virtual High School (VHS, Inc.) is the first large-scale project to create Internet-based courses at the pre-college level, providing a low-cost means of augmenting the range of courses a high school can offer without expanding enrollment.
According to a new study by the research firm Ambient Insight, the number preK-12 students who will take some or all of their courses online will increase from 2 million to 10 million by 2014.
