VHS is not like the other online high schools. It is purpose built to remove the endless conference call lessons that require unrealistic and fast connectivity. They also assume that all learners learn at the same pace. VHS is a fully interactive, multimedia and analytic-focused Virtual High School that allows students to learn when they are connected, when they have electricity, at the pace they feel most comfortable and with feedback on every learning outcome. At less than a third of the cost of the nearest online schools the VHS is purposefully providing for ALL students. With 80% of the virtual school driven by simulations, interactive activities and engaging gamified virtual science experiments, the school is underpinned by the award-winning IDEA Digital Education group.

Promoting STEM education with elective streams in digital technology and economic subjects, the cohort is fully recognized in the basic education system and have will the skills for the 4th Industrial Revolution and a rapidly globalising digital economy.
