Curriculum & Academics

REAL SCHOOL.
IN VIRTUAL REALITY.

Every course at VHCS is aligned to the Utah State Core and taught by a licensed Utah educator. The only difference is where it happens.

CORE SUBJECTS

Mathematics

Aligned to Utah Core math standards. Students work through concepts from foundational arithmetic to algebra, geometry, and statistics inside interactive virtual environments.

Science

Lab work without a lab. VR lets students dissect virtual specimens, conduct chemistry experiments, explore space, and interact with physical systems that would be impossible in a traditional classroom.

English Language Arts

Reading, writing, speaking, and listening — all aligned to Utah Core ELA standards. Students collaborate on writing projects and participate in real-time discussion with classmates.

Social Studies

History, geography, civics, and economics. VR brings historical events and global places to life, giving students an experiential understanding of the world and its past.

Electives & Arts

Visual arts, music, and a rotating schedule of elective courses that students can explore alongside their core coursework.

Physical Education

PE that works for a home-based program. Students complete activity logs, learn health principles, and participate in community fitness challenges and events.
