MCPS Online Course Offerings

MCPS offers online curriculum through APEX Learning, a company approved as a multi-division online provider by the Virginia Department of Education.  Students may use Apex as an option to complete several course options that can be found at the following link:  www.apexlearning.com.  

Current MCPS students may take courses through APEX free of charge if the course is approved by their guidance counselor and the principal.  Successful completion of the course will result in high school credit upon successful completion of all APEX assessments with a score of 60 and above (i.e. Final Grade of D or higher), plus passing of the related SOL assessment if necessary.  

Non-resident students must apply for permission to enroll in courses through the high school office.  No costs associated with online courses will be provided for non-resident students.  All non-resident students will be charged an $85 fee plus the cost of any textbooks per course.  Credit for non-resident students will be awarded upon successful completion of the course and a passing score on the related SOL.

Online instruction also is available to students through VDOE’s Virtual Virginia program, which offers pre Advanced Placement (AP), honors and AP courses and certain academic electives and world languages for students who otherwise would be unable to take these courses due to a lack of availability or scheduling conflicts within their school. For more information, see the Virtual Virginia website.
