Virtual High School links Ipswich with the world - Faith Tomei, Ipswich Journal

Chris Fay and Kristen Lindquist are juniors at Ipswich High School, but their teachers live in Temple, Ga., and Forks, Wash. David Dalton is the assistant principal at Ipswich High, but the students taking his course "Biotechnology: The Changing Face of Genetics" come from California, New York, South Korea and South America. They're participating in the Virtual High School (VHS), an online school that offers courses in everything from "Calculus" to "Caribbean Art History." Fay is taking "Personal Finance" this semester, and Lindquist is enrolled in "Poetry Writing." Instead of meeting teachers and classmates face to face, they meet them several times each week on the computer.
