Its founder and principal is Stephen Baker.[1] Academic ModelVHS is an asynchronous school allowing students to register and start on any day of the year. Students are given 18 months to complete each course and are able to work at their own paces.

VHS holds Ontario Student Records[3] for students who attend VHS full-time and plan to earn their Ontario Secondary School Diplomas at VHS.[4] HistoryVirtual High School is the oldest online high school in Ontario.[5] Using Notepad, Baker constructed the first course, grade 11 biology, in 1995.[3] This course was available to the public via the Internet.[3] The second course, Canadian Literature, became available in early 1996.[3] On January 2, 1997, this online school was moved to the VirtualHighSchool.com domain.[6] The original courses were organized using a rudimentary learning management system that Baker created.[3] Baker applied to the Ontario Ministry of Education to be recognized as an accredited private school. In April 2003, VHS became an inspected private schoo In 2012, VHS moved its headquarters to its current location in Bayfield, Ontario.[8] The building is an 1880s-era hotel that has served various purposes since its inception. The presence of the building goes back to 1853 but it was torn down in the 1880s and replaced by the Queen's hotel.[15] In 1940, it was repurchased and renamed the Ritz Hotel.[15] The rebirth into the VHS headquarters was a $2-million privately funded project that filled the building with modern computer and communication technology.[9] In 2012-2013, VHS's 64 courses drew 5414 students to enroll.[10] By 2015, VHS had 71 courses.[3] References1. ^{{Cite web|title = Virtual High School - Complete profile - Canadian Company Capabilities - Industries and Business - Industry Canada|url = http://www.ic.gc.ca/app/ccc/srch/nvgt.do?lang=eng&prtl=1&estblmntNo=234567099193&profile=cmpltPrfl&profileId=501&app=sold|website = www.ic.gc.ca|access-date = 2016-01-13}} 2. ^{{Cite web|title = Video: Virtual high school takes off in Ontario|url = https://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/life-video/video-virtual-high-school-takes-off-in-ontario/article4512021/|website = The Globe and Mail|publisher = https://plus.google.com/+globeandmail|access-date = 2016-01-13}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{Cite book|title=Online, Blended, and Distance Education in Schools|last=Clark|first=Tom|last2=|first2=|publisher=Stylus Publishing, LLC|year=2015|isbn=978-1620361641|location=Sterling, Virginia|pages=144–155}} 4. ^{{Cite web|title = Virtual High School (Ontario) - OSR - OSSD - OST - RC|url = https://www.virtualhighschool.com/osr_ossd_ost_rc.asp|website = www.virtualhighschool.com|access-date = 2016-02-24}} 5. ^{{Cite web|title = The Ontario Federation of Teaching Parents» Correspondence schools and virtual schools|url = http://ontariohomeschool.org/correspondencesch/|website = ontariohomeschool.org|access-date = 2016-01-13}} 6. ^{{Cite web|title = Whois virtualhighschool.com|url = http://www.whois.com/whois/virtualhighschool.com|website = www.whois.com|access-date = 2016-01-13}} 7. ^{{Cite web|title = Private Elementary and Secondary Schools|url = http://edu.gov.on.ca/eng/general/elemsec/privsch/index.html|website = edu.gov.on.ca|access-date = 2016-01-13|language = en|first = Government of|last = Ontario}} 8. ^{{Cite web|title = The P.A. - News, Stories, and More from Virtual High School|url = https://www.virtualhighschool.com/blog/new-virtual-high-school-home/|website = www.virtualhighschool.com|access-date = 2016-01-21}} 9. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=https://lfpress.com/homes/2011/12/22/19159421.html |title=School of the future rooted in the past |publisher=lfpress.com |date=2011-12-24 |accessdate=2015-12-20}} 10. ^{{Cite web|url = http://www.openschool.bc.ca/pdfs/state_of_nation-2013.pdf|title = State of the Nation: K-12 Online Learning in Canada|date = December 2013|access-date = |website = Open School BC: Educational Resources and Services|publisher = |last = Barbour|first = Michael}} External links
