Thanks to the state’s new Delaware Virtual School, Johnson is taking Spanish I without dropping anything from her agenda.

“It’s been really good for us because she’s been able to keep her schedule at school,” her mother, Christine Johnson, said. “And since it’s being done through the school system, we don’t have to pay for it, so it’s an excellent idea.”

The state piloted the virtual school in January with 284 high school students from 18 of the state’s 19 school districts. Six courses — Algebra I, pre-calculus, Spanish I, Spanish II, American government and physical education — are available.
