Costs for Summer School courses

Reduced Tuition for Eligible Students

Students who have a completed free/reduced meal form on file and have been determined eligible for reduced price or free meals during the regular school year are eligible to receive reduced summer school tuition in all high school summer programs except enrichment programs.

Refunds

Requests for refunds must be made by emailing VVB@vbschools.com before the first day of class. Because teachers must be hired in advance, no refunds will be honored after that date.

Important Aspects of Taking Courses Online

• Online courses require different skills and learning styles from traditional, face-to-face courses. For instance, students in an online course are responsible for scheduling their own "class time." Motivation and self-discipline are essential for success in an online course. Helpful information to determine if an online course is for you is available.
• Online courses conform to the same calendar as face-to-face summer school. Teachers establish due dates for assignments and tests throughout the course. Online courses are not independent study and are not completed according to the student’s timetable.
• Online classes must be taken for credit: NO Audits.
• Students will do the online coursework at home. This requires that each student have a computer at home and a high-speed internet connection. Please read Minimum Computer Requirements.
