Connecticut High School Virtual Classes

Not only can failing students bulk up grades, there are electives, too.

CNN has reported that Connecticut will begin offering virtual high school classes this month.

State governor M. Jodi Rell announced the start of the CT Virtual Learning Center, which will take a double-pronged approach to learning.

One focus will be to help those with failing grades, enabling them to make up their grades and void summer school.

The other will be to make more widespread the offer of elective courses which might not be available in all state schools, such as biotechnology and international business. However, the program is a supplement to school, not a replacement.

"We want to use online courses to increase access to high quality content so that every student in Connecticut will have access to the courses they need when they need them," Rell said.

The program will be available free to all state schools districts.
