Testimonials
“My experience with virtual learning has been positive and life changing for me. I love learning online at home and my grades are good. I like that I can check in with my teachers by zoom and I can ask a question or get help during that zoom or through Google classroom or Edgenuity. I learn better doing virtual learning because I can go at my own pace, set my own goals, I am more organized and virtual learning from home is awesome. I am so thankful for my virtual teachers and online learning. I would like to finish high school virtually.” - Hunter W.
“Choosing WLV has been a great opportunity for me to learn more about myself and how I can work alone. The virtual learning gave me peace of mind during the pandemic. The curriculum and the support of the teachers has been amazing. Although I miss my friends in the in-person learning, I do not regret being a virtual learner.” - Essence U.
“I chose to do virtual because I did it last year. It helped me because I can work at my own pace and start whenever I want to. During the school year, I help my cousins in the morning get ready for school and I wouldn’t be able to do this if I was in person. It doesn’t just help me, it helps my family so I can help them because I am more available to help. Overall, the virtual program is great I love it.” – Alex R.
“I decided to join the WLV because I would be able to work at my own pace and focus better. A big part about it for me was if you needed help, you’re able to call, text, email, or ask at our meetings. You’re also able to have retakes and that is helpful because I get to learn from my mistakes, retry and learn it better. The teachers are always very willing to help and will even ask you call if you want it explained.” – Kennedy E.
“I chose the WLV because I wanted a chance to do my best academically with fewer distractions on my own schedule.” – Charlie J.
