With a growing number of colleges offering or requiring online courses, several area high schools are providing more virtual options to prepare students while offering a broader curriculum. Three years ago, Dunlap started offering alternative versions of some courses. At first, students are at their desks five days a week, but they gradually cut in-class time to two days a week, working online the other three days. “We wanted a model that reflects where they are as high school students, but prepares them for expectations they’ll run into later,” said Principal Tom Welsh.
