#VIRTUAL ARKANSAS FULL#
Virtual Arkansas is committed to developing the full potential of Arkansas students by providing access to quality online courses that incorporate interactive instruction to prepare students to be successful in their college and career educational pursuits and in the global economy. The mission of Virtual Arkansas is to equip, engage, and empower students through unique, digital opportunities. We provide an array of quality digital courses to public school students in Arkansas and utilize Arkansas licensed instructors. This initiative is guided by Act 2325 of 2005: An Act to Provide Distance Learning.

The program is implemented through a partnership between the Arkansas Department of Education and the Arkansas Education Service Cooperatives. Students who are enrolled in a public school may be enrolled in Virtual Arkansas courses by the local school administration. We are not an online high school or a diploma-granting institution, but we are a resource for supplementing education for students through their local public school. Virtual Arkansas is a state virtual school that partners with public school districts throughout Arkansas to provide course access and opportunities to students who may not otherwise be offered those opportunities with local resources.
