High School Academics
Curriculum That Unlocks Possibility
North Carolina Virtual Academy (NCVA) knows success is not a single destination, and the journey can take many turns. But no matter the path, we believe in unlocking every learner’s potential by meeting them where they are and helping them reach their goals.
Explore Our Courses
As students move through middle school and into high school, their work becomes increasingly independent. High school courses are designed for students targeting a four-year university, a local community college, or an immediate career.
Many high school courses are offered at three levels: on-level, honors, and Advanced Placement® (AP®)
In all course levels, students:
- Learn grade-level content
- Complete coursework that might require writing or research projects
- Tackle problems that require analytical thinking
In honors courses, students also:
- Evaluate and synthesize information
- Demonstrate more advanced writing skills
- Participate in honors projects
In AP® courses, students prepare to take the AP® exam in a particular subject. Their AP® exam score may allow them to receive college credit, as determined by the college.
Plus, we offer credit recovery courses, which are mastery-based and allow students to focus on the areas they need most to recover credits at an accelerated pace.
Career and College Prep
Your teen can gain a competitive edge for the future—whether that includes college, a career, or both. Career and College Prep at NCVA gives students the opportunity to explore career options and participate in specialized, career-related experiences. Students can choose from a broad range of courses in these career fields: Business Management & Administration, Health Science, Information Technology, and Marketing. They can also prepare to take industry-recognized certification exams upon graduation.
Earn College Credit While in High School
At NCVA, eligible high school students can participate in the Career & College Promise program, also known as dual enrollment. Learn more about our program.
At North Carolina Virtual Academy, we take pride in celebrating our students’ academic milestones with in-person ceremonies, creating a strong sense of community and accomplishment. We are delighted to recognize and support our NCVA graduates as they embark on their future journeys.
