Want a Different Educational Pathway for Your Student? Consider Virtual Learning.
Families considering an alternative to the traditional classroom setting have the opportunity to apply for enrollment in Berkeley County Virtual School (BCVS) for the 2025-2026 school year, beginning on March 10, and closing on June 1. Space is limited.
Kindergarten through 12th grade independent, self-motivated learners with highly-engaged caregivers are most successful in BCVS and can receive a quality education in a modern, virtual format.
Students will be:
- Taught WV standards using WV approved materials
- Counted as a member of their district home school so they can attend and participate in extracurricular activities
- Provided coaching and support from Berkeley County teachers
Please visit the link below to learn more about the BCVS program.
NOTE: This registration form is for new students not currently enrolled in BCVS. If you are an existing BCVS student and want to continue with the program for the next school year, please contact Holly Branch at hbranch@k12.wv.us or Susan Cole at srcole@k12.wv.us.
