School Partnership
Benefits of Partnering with VLACS
Our school partners are able to provide opportunities for success for students who, for a variety of reasons, may not be thriving in a traditional classroom environment.
Offer More Courses
Expand your course catalog with 400+ VLACS courses including dual credit and advanced placement options, over 160 project-based learning modules, and a variety of experiential learning opportunities, including many STEM and STEAM-based options.
Help Students Succeed in Competency-Based Learning Programs
Offer students the opportunity to master competencies with a wider range of learning options that best suit their needs, interests, and challenges.
Provide Learning Alternatives
Help more students succeed by allowing them to choose to master competencies through courses, projects, and experiences such as internships, service learning, independent study, and more.
Meet Individual Needs & Interests
Students engage with learning at their own pace, on a schedule that meets their unique needs and allows them to balance extracurricular passions, work schedules, and more.
Create Learning Cohorts
Sometimes learning together is better! Partners can form cohorts of students with similar interests, learning styles and/or paces, and provide structured support so they can complete coursework during their academic day.
Give Students New Ways to Catch Up and Recover Competencies
For students who need extra time and support to master competencies they missed the first time around, VLACS is the ideal option with self-paced learning and the chance to keep trying until it clicks — so failure isn’t an option.
What’s Included in an Academic Partnership with VLACS
Partnership Training Kickoff
We’ll get you started with a free, virtual training session. During this training session, our Partnership Team will create a VLACS account for you that offers unlimited access to your students’ grades and progress. They will walk you through your account and explain how our program works so you can support your students throughout their time in our courses.
Once this first step is completed, you’ll have access to everything listed below.
Full Support from VLACS
Our team of administrators, support staff, counselors, and technical helpdesk specialists are available to help ensure the success of your program.
Ongoing Program Training
Our flexible, online learning program training is scheduled as needed throughout the year to keep you up to speed.
