Currituck County participates in a number of innovative learning options for high school students. Some of these are described below.

The North Carolina Virtual Public School offers online courses that meet the state’s curriculum standards, are taught by certified teachers, and transfer to the student’s local school with the same status as courses taken in a classroom.  This innovative program was begun in 2007 and the current course offerings are aimed primarily at high school students, although middle school students may participate as well.  Students can use this program to take courses not available locally or whose sections at their local school are full; to take a more-than-full-time courseload; to graduate ahead of schedule; to recover credit or do remedial work; or to keep up with high school credits when illness or other circumstances prevent school attendance.  A wide variety of courses is available, including honors sections. 

UNC Greensboro’s iSchool Virtual Early College offers a wide range of general education courses that allow students to get a no-cost jump start on college.  The courses are taken on the Currituck County High School campus; about 30 county students per semester participate. 

The North Carolina School of Math and Science offers three honors courses for juniors and seniors, which students take in the Currituck County High School Information Highway Classroom via video conference and email.  Participation averages about 20 students per semester.

The College of the Albemarle offers online and on-campus dual-enrollment courses (students receive both high school credit and transferable college credit).  Tuition is free; books and other expenses are the responsibility of the student.  About 8 students per semester participate.

The J.P. Knapp Early College High School, begun in the 2008-09 academic year, offers high school students the opportunity to complete four years of high school and two years of college simultaneously.  Students must apply while in the 8th grade; the school expects to accept 50 – 75 students per year.
