A Message from Principal Stephen Baker

On behalf of the staff at Virtual High School (VHS), I am excited to provide you with more information about our school. We know that choosing a partner for your education is a big decision. As a global leader in educational excellence, we appreciate the opportunity to provide our students with the best experience possible in online learning.

As Ontario’s oldest online high school, we designed our asynchronous virtual education model to help students who needed more flexibility and support. After more than 20 years in operation, our engaging course content, certified teachers, and extensive support services are still the hallmarks of the student experience at VHS.

From students needing one credit, to students looking to earn their full Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), we are here to help everyone meet their goals.

Our staff consider it a privilege to work with each one of our students, and we look forward to working with you.

Welcome
