School Overview

The Wichita Virtual School (WVS), operated by Wichita Public Schools (USD 259), is a tuition-free, online educational program designed to offer flexible learning options for students in grades K–12. By utilizing a digital curriculum, the school provides an alternative to the traditional classroom environment, allowing students to complete their coursework remotely. This model is particularly beneficial for students who require non-traditional schedules, those seeking a more self-paced academic experience, or families looking for a customized approach to K-12 education.

Despite its online format, the school remains deeply integrated into the Wichita Public School district, ensuring that students have access to district-certified teachers, academic support, and various extracurricular opportunities. Students enrolled at WVS can work toward a standard high school diploma while maintaining the flexibility to learn from home, making it a viable option for those who need to balance academic responsibilities with personal, medical, or professional commitments.
