A limited number of seats are available to highly motivated juniors and seniors to take online courses through VHS Learning. A student may take only one online course to pursue a course that is not offered at Arlington Catholic. Students are expected to be highly motivated, independent learners. A period is added to their schedule during which students are expected to be physically present in the assigned space, attend their class online and maintain good attendance. The grading policy is set by VHS Learning and the instructors; Arlington Catholic has no control over grades assigned or whether instructors will accept late work, or what penalties for late work may be. Students may be required to complete assignments in their course during vacation periods, even if Arlington Catholic may not be in session.
Students should consult with their Guidance Counselor and/or the Associate Principal for Academics in selecting these courses. Students wishing to enroll in these courses should discuss that enrollment with their guidance counselor.
Students may combine two ½ credit courses to have a full credit in their program.
Virtual courses, especially on the AP level, may have summer assignments that students are responsible for completing, usually with a due date in the first week of the course.
Students who enroll in these courses must pay the fee charged to AC by VHS Learning. Students who select an online course will not be permitted to drop that course once they are enrolled. Students who plagiarize or violate AC’s Academic Integrity policy may be removed from their course with no refund of the fee paid.
