2025-2026 Interest in Enrollment
Before applying to VVHS, please read the information below to ensure that VVHS is an environment in which your student can thrive and be successful. Online school requires family support, a student who can work independently, and stable internet access.
Instruction and Student Requirements
VVHS offers mostly asynchronous instruction where students will use the Schoology platform to access coursework. Although the work is provided to students one week at a time, VVHS courses are not self-paced. Coursework may include instructional videos, reading materials, assignments, quizzes, and tests. While this is asynchronous, it requires daily work in each class.There may also be occasions where your student needs to attend live Zoom sessions and/or attend in person at the VVHS Student Center located at the Franklin High School Annex. More information on in-person attendance requirements is included below.
Weekly Homeroom Zoom
Students are required to attend a weekly homeroom Zoom meeting where teachers and students will walk through weekly agendas and discuss upcoming school events and academic needs.
High Stakes Tests (ACT, AP, EOC, PSAT)
According to the mandates from the state, students must take high-stakes tests in person. VVHS will communicate dates, locations and times well in advance.
In-person days at the VVHS Student Center located at the Franklin High School Annex
We offer weekly in-person days and all students are encouraged to attend; however, students who are not making adequate academic progress will be required to attend. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to provide transportation to and from the VVHS Student Center.
Daily Attendance
VVHS follows the same attendance requirements that all Williamson County Schools do. Attendance is based on academic progress in each course. Detailed information regarding due dates and when attendance will be reported will be communicated to students and families on a regular basis.
School Calendar
VVHS follows the Williamson County Calendar; this includes any adjustments or changes due to inclement weather, etc.
Sports
Incoming freshmen are eligible for TSSAA-sanctioned sports at their school of zone.
Rising sophomores, juniors and seniors may be ineligible for TSSAA-sanctioned sports if they played at their zoned school last year.
If you have specific questions about this or applying for a waiver, please reach out to the Athletic Director of your student’s school of zone.
If your student plays a club sport, please reach out to his or her coach regarding any questions.
VVHS does not offer sports and does not make any decisions relating to sports.
Application Process
Applications are open from January 6, 2025 through February 28, 2025.
Applications are ONLY for students wanting to attend VVHS fully online. If you are interested in taking hybrid or summer courses online through your school of zone, please speak with your school counselor.
Applications will only be reviewed after both parts have been completed. Applications with only 1 part completed will be disregarded.
Submitting an application does not guarantee enrollment. Families will be notified via the email provided in the parent/guardian application by April 1, 2025, if we are able to offer enrollment. Parents will have 1 week to accept or decline the seat. If no response is received within the week, your student's seat will be forfeited and enrollment for the 25-26 school year will no longer be an option.
Accepting a seat at VVHS means students will be transferred from current schools to VVHS, and it is a year-long commitment. Rising seniors will graduate from VVHS.
If you feel like VVHS would be a good academic fit for your student and your family please complete the 2-part application below.
