Eligible kindergarten through 12th grade students can choose to enroll in a virtual program that features live, daily instruction from teachers.

Or, middle and high school students can enroll in a program that allows them to work more independently and at their own pace.

The first day of classes is Aug. 1.

Families can apply online or by appointment at the district’s headquarters, 130 Trinity Avenue, S.W.
