Virtual Learning Academy Charter School: VLACS Aspire
Download ResourceTopics
We’ve all had the experience of truly purposeful, authentic learning and know how valuable it is. Educators are taking the best of what we know about learning, student support, effective instruction, and interpersonal skill-building to completely reimagine schools so that students experience that kind of purposeful learning all day, every day.
VLACS, a virtual school serving students across New Hampshire in grades 5-12, is developing a 100 percent self-paced, competency-based learning model framed not around courses but around a map of required competencies that students may master through any number of possible learning opportunities.In the VLACS Aspire “experiential blended learning” model, learning experiences in real-world, community-based settings serve as the face-to-face component in addition to traditional classroom-based learning that is integrated with online learning opportunities.
