Wood County Schools offers off-campus learning opportunities that provide parents and students with flexibility and choice. If you are currently homeschooling and looking for the chance to have your child learn from a fully-certified West Virginia educator, we have options available.
Students in kindergarten through eighth grade may enroll in West Virginia Virtual school which uses the WV Learns platform.
Virtual school enrollment for the 2024-2025 school year is currently closed.
Virtual learning enables students to maintain their connection with Wood County Schools while engaging in a county-approved online learning program. West Virginia public school students have the option to enroll in county virtual schools, which are free of charge and can be accessed either full time or part time, based on the students' specific requirements. Certified teachers from West Virginia will provide instruction to the students, ensuring that the virtual school experience matches the same level of educational excellence and rigor as a traditional classroom setting.
It's important to note that through collaboration with Wood County Schools, homeschool students can also take advantage of virtual course offerings.
