Wikipedia defines a virtual school as
an institution that teaches courses entirely or primarily through online methods.
We impose the further restriction that the courses are similar (in purpose and outcome) to those normally taken by school-age children - but there may be a few students in the virtual school who are beyond school leaving age.
Lists of virtual schools
See categories at the bottom of the page for quick links to relevant initiatives.

In the past lists of schools were added to separate pages along with individual school pages. As many will obtain the information they require directly from a schools' website, a collapsible list is provided below of current, operational virtual schools. This also reduces the number of clicks to locate information.
If the Virtual Learning Wiki Community denotes individual pages are more useful, then this will become a feature in the future. Please add your thoughts to the Virtual/online school discussion page. Remember as a wiki, you can edit this page and the information listed. We welcome edits to the list and further columns you feel would be most useful.

Legacy Lists
2020 List of virtual schools
The list curated for 2020 can be located here: 2020 Virtual Schools
2011 List of virtual schools
Our global list created in 2011 is at Category:Virtual schools - it is known not to have full coverage of US.
We also categorise virtual schools by major continental region
- Category:Virtual schools in Africa
- Category:Virtual schools in Asia
- Category:Virtual schools in Australasia
- Category:Virtual schools in Europe
- Category:Virtual schools in Latin America
Because of the large number of virtual schools in North America, they are categorised by US and Canada.
Soon it is expected that we will have:
For those countries where a lot of virtual schools are expected we also categorise by country. So far the list is:
- Category:Virtual schools in Australia
- Category:Virtual schools in Brazil
- Category:Virtual schools in Canada
- Category:Virtual schools in New Zealand
- Category:Virtual schools in South Africa
- Category:Virtual schools in Turkey
- Category:Virtual schools in the US
Some of these country categories seem too detailed, eg Turkey and South Africa. Others may be needed soon, eg for UK, Sweden and Finland.
Note that Ceased virtual schools (those that no longer exist) have their own category - Category:Ceased virtual schools
