The Madagascar Virtual School (Madagascar), as part of the Africa Virtual School (AVS), was founded in February of 2008 as the first regional school of the World Virtual School, in order to serve students of all backgrounds with the highest quality online courses, at the lowest cost possible.

The goal of AVS is to offer equitable, quality education to all students, regardless of age, race, gender, ethnic, religious, or cultural background, via the internet so that they may join the global social, cultural and economic environment. The World Virtual School is a subsidiary of the Hawking Institute, Inc., a US non-profit NGO. It is also a partnership project with the Personal Learning Center, International, LLC (dba PLC/i EDU) which is incorporated as a Limited Liability Corporation within the State of Illinois in the United States and has official offices in Cordova, Illinois, USA.

No evidences, though, from the website, of what has been actually being run in the country.
