Introduction
VirtualSC is a free, state-sponsored, online supplemental program serving students currently attending
public, private, homeschool, and adult education programs in the state of South Carolina. VirtualSC
offers rigorous online courses aligned to state standards that are developed and taught by Highly
Qualified, SClicensed teachers. For more information about the program including the mission
statement, core values, goals, and objectives, please see Appendix A: Program Overview.

Core Focus
Who We Are
In August 2014, the former South Carolina Virtual School Program became VirtualSC. At that time,
VirtualSC upgraded to a new Student Information System (SIS), OpenSIS, which was customized to the
specific needs of the program. VirtualSC also launched a new website, VirtualSC.org, which is the central
repository for everything about VirtualSC: overview and specific information about the program
including course offerings, news, and success stories; dedicated pages for parents and schools/districts;
and a student portal including the OpenSIS login.
To better define the new brand, and to better align with the SC Department of Educations Vision and
Profile of the South Carolina Graduate, VirtualSC has adopted a new mission statement: To provide
South Carolina students with flexible and rigorous online learning opportunities that will help them
acquire the knowledge, skills and characteristics necessary for college and career readiness.
The SC Department of Educations Vision is that All students graduate prepared for success in college,
career, and citizenship. By 2018, at least one school in every district will have implemented
personalized learning that supports students meeting the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate.

How We Are Doing

VirtualSC courses are taught by state-certified teachers who have shown expertise in their subject areas.
All VirtualSC full-time teachers hold a rating of Highly Qualified in their subject area by the SCDE. In
addition to their outstanding credentials, all full-time and part-time teachers must undergo in-service
Online Professional Development training to teach with VirtualSC. Due to the high volume of student
requests for courses, VirtualSC employed 34 full-time teachers for the 201415 academic year in
addition to 69 part-time teachers and language coaches.
In 201415, VirtualSC was able to serve 32,779 student enrollments from 311 schools in 84 public school
districts, 23 home school associations, 71 private schools, and 36 adult education centers located
throughout South Carolina (for details, see Appendix C: Student Enrollment by District). Out of the
students who completed their courses, VirtualSC had a successful course completion rate of 90 percent
for the school year (see Appendix D: Successful Course Completion Rates). VirtualSC was able, for the
second year in a row, to accommodate all registration requests.

Among the most common reasons offered for dropping the class after the grace period were the
following:

overextension (taking too many courses and/or involved in too many extracurricular activities);
rigor (more difficult than the student thought);
incompatibility with learning style (need face-to-face instruction in a brick and mortar
classroom);
lack of understanding about the course requirements, especially language labs for world
language courses; and
technology (non-compatible hardware and/or no internet connection at home).

During 201415, 179 VirtualSC students took End-of-Course Examination Program courses for which
there is a state-mandated final exam. The passage rates for VirtualSC students taking this exam, as
compared to the state passage rates, are detailed in the table below:

Expenditures for 201415 totaled $4,856,172.92 for salaries and fringe benefits and $1,084,971.29 for
operating costs, including but not limited to program software and instructional materials. Salary costs
came from the General Fund, while the operating budget came from the K12 Technology Committee
and collected revenues.

Program and Faculty Successes

VirtualSC joined the Virtual School Leadership Alliance (VSLA). The VSLA is an association of the chiefs
of some of the most innovative virtual schools nationwide that provide collegial support and
collaborative opportunities to the individual members and member organizations to share resources,
services, and expertise. Each year the Leadership Alliance chiefs explore topics critical to providing high
quality online and blended learning by examining current research, trends, and analysis in digital
learning, as well as sharing resources, services, and expertise. VSLA also partners with researchers and
educational organizations to gather and provide data across more than a dozen states represented by
the VSLA. Specifically, VirtualSC participated in a research project hosted by the Michigan Virtual School
where they examined the relationship between the locale code (a national rural indicator) and course
outcomes in K12 online learning.
Dr. Tracy Seiler, a VirtualSC Latin instructor and team leader, was selected as the SC Foreign Language
Teachers Association (SCFLTA) Teacher of the Year. The SCFLTA selected Dr. Seiler as their 2015
recipient because of her dedication to her profession and her advocacy for language learning.

Denise Wright, a VirtualSC science instructor, was selected to participate in a professional development
initiative funded by the Boeing Observatory Grant awarded to the South Carolina Observatory at the
South Carolina State Museum. As a result, Mrs. Wrights students were able to participate in science
lessons, aligned to the state science standards, conducted with a telescope in a distance learning
environment. In addition, the grant afforded Ms. Wright the opportunity to invite her students to visit
the state museum, tour the new planetarium, participate in a hands-on lab with lenses that enabled
them to learn about the focal length of telescopes, and climb the ladder to look out of the 1926
refracting telescope. She was also invited to attend the Space Science Teachers Summit held at the
University of Colorado in Boulder.
Marsheila Ksor, a VirtualSC English and language arts teacher, was selected to participate in the College
Boards Annual AP Reading Seminar. Each June, AP teachers and college faculty members from around
the world gather in the United States to evaluate and score the free-response sections of the AP Exams.
During the 2015 scoring sessions, more than 13,500 AP Readers evaluated more than 4.5 million AP
Exams. AP Readers are high school and college educators who represent many of the worlds leading
academic institutions. The AP Reading is a unique forum in which an academic dialogue between
educators is both fostered and encouraged.

What Others are Saying

On the end-of-course survey that all students are required to take, 82 percent indicated they were
either Satisfied or Very Satisfied with their class and VirtualSC while 85 percent said they would take
another class with VirtualSC.
I enjoyed the experience, the subject, and the 21st Century Teaching Style. Student
Testimony
I am beyond grateful that this class was offered online. My teacher was great about getting
back to me and mom if we had a problem. Thanks VirtualSC. Student Testimony
This was useful for me because I could not fit the class into my schedule and I needed it to
graduate. Student Testimony
This was the first time my son took a course with the virtual program. I must say it was a very
transparent experience and anytime he had a problem with something the teacher responded
either through the virtual email or Skype. He would have taken courses to better enhance his
GPA if we knew about it starting in 9th grade for he is pursuing a scholarship opportunity with
football. I look forward for the law to be passed increasing the number of courses to be taken
during a school term. This experience has prepared me to share with other parents other
options available to them. This program is as difficult as a brick and mortar; and it's important
to pace yourself to be successful. Staying on task is key or even working ahead. Thank goodness
for the interactive vehicle of information. Parent Testimony
I love the idea of credit recovery being available for continuous sign up. This serves a great
need. Thanks for all you do!! Guidance Counselor Testimony

Growth
VirtualSC has been steadily growing since its pilot in 2007 and program inception in 2008. As demand
increases, new courses are developed and added to the curriculum, which helps to increase
enrollments. Although VirtualSC doesnt directly advertise, through word-of-mouth endorsements, the
demand for existing courses has also increased. And as demand increases, the faculty and
administrative staff increases accordingly. During the 201415 school year, VirtualSC had
unprecedented growth of 48 percent over the prior year. Over the life of the program, VirtualSC has
more than tripled its enrollments.

Learning Solutions for Schools

Virtual Learning Labs & Robots
In 201415, VirtualSC partnered directly with schools to offer Virtual Learning Labs (VLLs) to help schools
fulfill several needs from budget cuts, reduced funding, and unfilled teaching vacancies at smaller
schools across the state. Through Virtual Learning Labs, VirtualSC provides a Highly Qualified SC
certified teacher and the SC standards-based virtual course, as well as virtually meets with the students
during a set period of the school day to provide instruction. The program began a robot pilot, which
became part of the Virtual Learning Lab option. With the robots, the VirtualSC teacher can better
connect with students in the classroom through use of a Double Robot. During the 201415 school year,
VirtualSC piloted 4 classes with robots: Keyboarding at LEAD Academy Charter School and Dacusville
Middle School; Essentials for Algebra 1 at Kingstree Senior High School; and Algebra 2 at Timberland
High. These classes included 164 students and had a success rate of 91 percent.

Franchises
VirtualSC began to offer a new flexible Franchise Program to schools and districts across the state. This
program allows schools to use VirtualSCdeveloped course content, the programs Learning
Management System (Moodle), and the VirtualSC Student Information System (OpenSIS) while still using
their own instructors. Aiken Virtual Academy, which is a supplemental program offered through Aiken
County School District, became the first VirtualSC franchise. During the 201415 school year, Aiken
Virtual Academy offered 20 class periods across 3 semesters and served 486 students with a 79 percent
success rate. Based on this success, several additional districts are offering franchise options during the
201516 school year, including Berkeley County School District, Dorchester 4 School District, Jasper
County School District, and John de la Howe School, and several others have started the process of
becoming a franchise, including Colleton County and Orangeburg 3 school districts.

Elementary Keyboarding
VirtualSC offers a blended elementary keyboarding program for grades 36. During the 201415 school
year, VirtualSC served 8,518 elementary students in 19 districts. During the 201516 school year, this is
being expanded to include K2 students as well and has been expanded to reach 28 districts at the
beginning of the school year with more expected to begin offering this service to their students. For a
list of districts with students taking K6 keyboarding with VirtualSC, see Appendix F: Grades K6
Keyboarding Districts.

10

Test Preparation
To assist students in preparing for national college entrance exams, such as the ACT, PSAT/NMSQT, and
SAT, as well as Advanced Placement (AP) exams, the VirtualSC offers test preparation free-of-charge to
any public, private, or homeschool student in the State of South Carolina whether they are enrolled in
VirtualSC or not. These reviews were developed by Shmoop, a digital curriculum test preparation
company that makes fun yet rigorous learning materials that will help students prepare for national
exams. During the 201415 academic year, over 3,000 students requested IDs to take advantage of this
offering.

English Language Arts and Math Assistance Pilot Program

VirtualSC offers free English language arts (ELA) and math skills recovery resources to middle and high
schools via EdReady. Both the ELA and math resources are standards-aligned, mastery-based, and
provide a personalized learning experience based upon each students current level of skill and
understanding. In addition, they are available to schools to use in the manner that best suits the needs
of their students. The resources are not provided with a VirtualSC teacher, but VirtualSC works directly
with the schools to provide free online curricula, administrative support for troubleshooting, and free
training for the schools teachers and staff. During the 201415 school year, over 500 students took
advantage of this program.

11

Coming Soon
VirtualSC has completed a five-year strategic plan focused on the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate
and ensuring that students working with VirtualSC are college and career ready. Throughout the
strategic planning process, the VirtualSC Leadership Team identified several ways to ensure students are
college and career ready.

Middle School Exploratory Courses

VirtualSC is planning to begin building middle schoollevel courses over the next few years to ensure
that middle school students have an option to begin learning how to take online courses in preparation
for high school and beyond to ensure that they obtain excellent life and career characteristics starting as
early as middle school. Additionally, VirtualSC has plans to offer many exploratory courses to middle
school students to ensure that they are properly prepared to enter high school.

More World Language Options

VirtualSC will be completely supporting the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate in many ways, but
one example will be to offer an expanded array of World Language courses. In the 201516 school year,
VirtualSC is adding German 1 as a new course and will continue to expand to add more levels of each
language and add new languages for students to ensure that they are gaining a world class knowledge.
So, VirtualSC will be expanding and implementing a plethora of ways to ensure that students obtain
world class knowledge, world class skills, and life and career characteristics needed to be a 21st century
graduate in support of the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate.

Deeper Partnerships with Rural Districts Across SC

VirtualSC will be focusing on outreach to provide additional opportunities for rural schools. One of the
challenges rural districts face is a lack of support staff for virtual labs and individuals taking online
courses. Our outreach will include additional training for school staff and supplementing lab facilitators
where necessary.

More Flexible Enrollment Options for Students

VirtualSC understands that not all schools follow the same school schedule and, sometimes, students
need the option to take classes outside of the traditional school semester calendar. VirtualSC is
exploring alternative scheduling including staggered beginning dates, shorter class durations, and rolling
enrollments (as is already done with Credit Recovery courses) to better facilitate our students
scheduling needs.

12

Quality Matters
To ensure that course offerings meet SCDE assessment requirements and align to state standards,
materials are evaluated by a VirtualSC curriculum coordinator. In addition to this requirement, VirtualSC
evaluates a course if its content is changed to a significant degree such that its alignment may be
questionable, or if the standards themselves have changed. VirtualSC has begun to review all courses
based on the Quality Matters framework to ensure that courses meet accessibility guidelines and follow
the guidelines of an external review framework. Future plans include having all courses reviewed by an
external review committee using the Quality Matters framework to ensure that all courses meet
national guidelines and standards, as well as state academic standards.

Appendices
Appendix A: Program Overview
Program Overview
Following a one-year pilot, the South Carolina Virtual School Program (SCVSP), legislatively created in
May 2007, began offering courses in the 200708 academic year as a supplemental program for
students in traditional brick and mortar public schools, private schools, and homeschools. Since then,
the program, now known as VirtualSC, has worked with these diploma-granting schools, as well as adult
education centers, to provide state-funded online courses for high school credit at no cost to the
students.

Mission
The mission of VirtualSC is to provide South Carolina students with flexible and rigorous online learning
opportunities that will help them acquire the knowledge, skills, and characteristics necessary for college
and career readiness.

Core Values
The following are the core values that guide VirtualSC:
1. The student should be at the center of each decision.
2. Integrity, honesty, and respect are paramount in all aspects of VirtualSCs operations.
3. Courses must be engaging and interactive with rigorous standards-based content to meet the
diverse educational needs of the students.
4. Students, parents, and sponsors should be active partners in the process.
5. All students, parents, teachers, and sponsors are accountable for their role in the educational
process.
6. Continuous examination is vital to program improvement.

Goals and Objectives

VirtualSC strives to reach the following goals and objectives:
1. Increase the graduation rate in South Carolina.
2. Focus on the individual success of each student and tailor courses to students educational
needs.
3. Provide students with access to Advanced Placement and specialized courses, which may not
be offered at their traditional brick and mortar schools in order to promote educational
equality.
4. Provide an alternative to students who may not be able to complete their high school education
without access to flexible options (e.g. students with children, students with mitigating work
schedules/circumstances, students with disabilities or medical issues)
5. Provide credit recovery courses for students.
6. Provide students with a 21st century education to make them competitive in the workforce after
their high school graduation or in their pursuit of a degree from a higher education institution.
