Virtual School
Does your district want to implement a Virtual School to provide students with educational alternatives to the traditional classroom?
If you have students who need flexibility in scheduling and want a curriculum that will prepare them for the TAKS and college, the UT K-16 Education Center is available to get you started.
How can the UT K-16 Education Center help?
For students who are independent and self-disciplined and want the opportunity to work on web-based and online courses during school hours, before and/or after school hours, at home in the evenings, and on weekends, the UT K-16 Education Center can provide:
- onsite guidance on how to organize a successful Virtual School; and
- innovative rigorous distance education courses for your students.
The UT K-16 Education Center has been in the business of high school distance education courses since 1954 and has a proven track record of providing quality high school courses. We offer over 48 half-credit courses that are:
- committed to quality, online education standards and pedagogy;
- accredited by TEA;
- aligned to the TEKS;
- based on innovative technology and award-winning delivery platforms;
- designed for student success on the TAKS; and
- intended to prepare students for college.
How would this work?
Your district can create its own virtual school using selected courses from the K-16 Education Center high school distance education courses. The district can:
- use their own teachers. Through a site license, a district will gain access to our courses to use with their students. The UT K-16 Center will provide the online or web-based courses and the answer keys. You provide the final exams and the instructor; and/or
- use our teachers. Purchase courses for individual students as needed using our Texas certified instructors. Upon completion of the course, a grade report will be sent to the student and the school.
