Virtual Program

What is a virtual program online?

A virtual program is a complete online learning solution for students in grades 9 through 12. The rigorous courses are correlated to the State of Oklahoma PASS standards and assist students in catching up, advancing and graduating on time using the internet. Our curriculum is enhanced by our experienced and certified teaching staff in order to meet the needs of a diverse population of students.

ASTEC Charter High School Virtual Program Online students are supported with a 24/7 learning environment hosted by teachers and teaching assistants and using a variety of communication tools (email, online instant messaging and telephone).

*State OF Oklahoma End of Instruction (EOI) tests must be taken on-site and these tests must be taken for the student to receive their diploma. These tests are required.

Who should attend a virtual program?

Students with personal obligations or scheduling constraints
Students with college preparatory goals that require accelerated classes their current school is unable to provide

What is the cost of taking online courses?

There is no cost for grades 9 through 12 Oklahoma students who are legally transferred into ASTEC Charter Schools (via Oklahoma City Public Schools District Office) as full-time students. The transfer papers must be delivered in person to the Oklahoma City Public Schools Student Services Office located at 900 N. Klein, Oklahoma City, OK 73106. The same funding used for traditional students can be used for ASTEC Charter High School Virtual Program Online students, there is no fee for taking online courses for most students.

Transfer Student Enrollment for 2010-2011 is currently open. Students seeking an open transfer need to have the transfer papers in no later than April 1 of the year in which they wish to enroll. After April 1, all transfers will be considered an emergency transfer.

*Students enrolled in other districts and/or in other states may take courses by paying a fee. Since the ASTEC Charter High School Virtual Program Online is accredited, most districts will accept credit taken through our online school. However, the student should meet with their own school counselor/registrar to be sure the credit will be accepted at their particular school.

Traditional ASTEC Charter School students may enroll in additional credits through the virtual school for a fee upon recommendation from their school counselor.

What are the requirements to graduate from an online program?

Requirements for an online program and traditional school are the same. Please see attachment for complete requirements for ASTEC Charter High School Virtual Program Online and the State of Oklahoma. A graduation plan is also available.
