About half of Massachusetts’ school districts belong to the Virtual High School network. Full members pay $8,000 annually for 25 seats in cyber classrooms and must train one teacher to offer an online course. Smaller schools with limited needs or budgets can rent a few seats from other members. The program covers credit recovery work for students who have failed courses and are seeking to recover credits — or home- or hospital-based learning for teens with medical, emotional, or disciplinary needs — and advanced classes for others whose districts can’t afford to offer them.
