High School students often struggle to fit the courses they want into their academic schedules. VHS Learning’s paced, and self-paced courses make it easier for students to fill gaps in their schedule. Self-paced courses allow students to start new learning experiences throughout the year. Paced courses start according to traditional fall and spring semester schedules. Registration is now open for spring 2025 paced courses and fall 2024 self-paced courses.

Spring 2025 half-credit paced courses begin on January 29, 2025; however, students can still register for full-credit courses, including four AP options, if they elect self-paced courses. Students begin self-paced courses on any Wednesday through the registration deadlines listed below:

• Self-paced full-credit Advanced Placement® courses are open until December 4.
• Self-paced half-credit AP® courses are open until January 8.
• Self-paced full-credit non-AP® courses are open until February 5.
• Self-paced half-credit standard level and credit recovery courses are open for registration year-round. 

All VHS Learning courses are led by certified high school teachers. These teachers regularly interact with students in asynchronous discussions, host weekly office hours, and invite students to monthly one-on-one progress meetings.

“Students should never have to give up on a learning opportunity because of scheduling challenges,” said Carol DeFuria, President & CEO of VHS Learning. “With our self-paced courses, enrollment dates are flexible, so students can complete a course and be eligible for an AP® exam before the end of the school year in May. Enrollment is also currently open for our spring 2025 semester courses, and we encourage students to plan ahead and schedule spring courses now, for best availability. We are pleased that our nonprofit can help alleviate academic scheduling issues and help students take the courses they need, in the time frame that works best for them.”
