What is LVS?

The Louisiana Department of Education in partnership with The Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts (LSMSA) provides Louisiana high school students access to standards-based high school courses delivered by certified Highly-qualified Louisiana teachers through the Louisiana Virtual School (LVS), a BESE 8(g) funded project. Students in LVS courses utilize the web, e-mail, and other online and offline resources to complete a rich course of study in a multitude of courses.

The LVS affords schools the opportunity to expand learning opportunities to students through courses that would not otherwise be available to them. The 2010-2011 school year marks the beginning of the 11th year of program implementation for the Louisiana Virtual School. Most LVS courses are offered as full year courses following a traditional time schedule; however, some courses are offered as full-credit semester block or half-credit semester block courses.
