Chesterfield developing virtual high school - JUAN ANTONIO LIZAMA, Richmond Times-Dispatch
In three to four years, the Chesterfield Online Academy will offer the 18 core courses high school students need to graduate, said Lynda Gillespie, the Chesterfield school system's technology director. The system still will allow students to take courses through the Virginia Department of Education's Virtual Virginia, which gives online Advanced Placement courses. "The capability will be there to actually take core classes without ever coming to a building," she said. "I suspect that most of our students in Chesterfield will still take courses in schools, but will also take online courses."
