Virtual Scholars at Portland Evening and Summer Scholars

Virtual Scholars (VS) blended online courses offered during Evening and Summer Scholars follow either the "flex" or "cohort" model. Both are self-paced, online courses, taught by highly qualified PPS Virtual Scholars teachers. Course offerings vary during the school year and are updated on the VS website and the PES/SS website at the beginning of each session.
