The North Carolina Virtual Public School (NCVPS) is a US state virtual school founded in 2002. It had 73,600 course enrollments in 2009-10, the second highest number of enrollments of any state virtual school; this represents a 369% increase from 15,721 enrollments in 2008-09.

More Details

North Carolina Virtual Public School was the second state virtual school in the US (after FLVS) to be funded based on a funding formula tied to the state’s public education formula. However, NCVPS is funded for 2010-11 based on 2009-10 enrollment figures, i.e. the funding does not map to student completion.
