About Us

The North Carolina Virtual Public School (NCVPS) is committed to raising achievement and closing learning gaps with 21st century innovation by providing access to world class learning opportunities for all North Carolina students. We provide the vehicle for school districts to accomplish the State Board of Education’s goals of producing 21st century learners, professionals, leaders, and systems by providing easily accessible, online learning opportunities for our state’s most valuable resource: its children. Our mission is to provide skills, student support, and opportunities for 21st century learners to succeed in a globally competitive world. We offer over 100 courses-including Advanced Placement (AP), world language, Occupational Course of Study (OCS), and credit recovery courses-to students across the state of North Carolina. The courses utilize the Blackboard course management software to maximize student interaction in each class. Our courses are taught by highly qualified teachers who utilize video, interactive whiteboards, wikis, active worlds, and online discussion tools to engage 21st century learners.

Thanks to the leadership of Governor Beverly Perdue, the NC General Assembly and the E-Learning Commission, students will have a positive online learning experience.  More importantly, we hope that students will apply their new learning skills to serve, work, and lead in a globally competitive world.
