Omaha Public Schools to open first virtual school this month

The Omaha Virtual School will be open to home-schooled students, giving them a mix of face-to-face instruction and online lessons, the Omaha World-Herald reported (http://bit.ly/2aJ5AFv ).

Not every student can find success in a traditional school environment, and our school will be providing another option for families to explore.

Students will be required to sign up for at least two courses, which cover core subject areas such as math and language arts, as well as several technology-oriented electives.
