Wyoming e-academy of Virtual Education
The Wyoming e-academy of Virtual Education (WeAVE) is an online high school located in the US state of Wyoming.
WeAVE is operated by Fort Washakie High School, a traditional high school. Other - but not all - Wyoming school districts partner with WeAVE to offer online classes to their students. Students must attend school in a Wyoming district that has a signed MOU in place. WeAVE students remain full time students at their local high school; either in Fort Washakie or another Wyoming high school.
The WeAVE web site is at http://www.fortwashakieschool.com/fwhs/
More Details
FWHS is a public charter school operated by Fremont County School District #21. Online students of WeAVE use the same content and materials as in any FWHS face-to-face course.
FWHS does not charge the resident school district a tuition fee. However, if students drop a class without finishing within a calendar year (365 days), it will charge the district a $500 drop fee.
