Virtual Learning Academy Charter School

The Virtual Learning Academy Charter School (VLACS) is a statewide virtual charter school located in the US state of New Hampshire.

VLACS offers a full-time option to both in- and out-of-state students; state residents may study part-time (supplemental) or full-time. Approved in May 2007, it serves serving grades 7-12. VLACS is predominantly supplemental, unusual for a virtual charter school, with approximately 4,000 part-time students within the nearly 8,000 course enrollments in 2009-10.

Funding for VLACS comes from the New Hampshire state board, not from local school districts.
