Virtual High School(VHS) Program
In addition to taking courses at Metuchen High School, sophomores, juniors and seniors have the opportunity to take courses online through Virtual High School. Online courses provide a different learning environment and can offer exposure to the kind of internet platform used in many college classes. The courses offered range from electives to AP courses, some only a semester long, some full-year. All policies of Metuchen High School courses apply to Virtual High School courses; grades and credits earned will be applied accordingly to a student’s GPA and official transcript. Students interested in taking an online course should speak to their guidance counselor when they meet for scheduling. To see Virtual High School’s course offerings, visit their website at www.govhs.org.
