"An innovative community of families, students, teaching adults, and staff committed to empowering our learners to achieve their full potential through high quality education"

The Lawrence Virtual School began enrolling students for its inaugural school year in July 2004. Located on 5.15 acres of land in the former Centennial Elementary School building, the Lawrence Virtual School expands the definition of public school choice in Lawrence and across the state. It combines the best elements of home-schooling – flexibility and individual instruction by the parent – with the guidance, support and accountability of certified teachers using a high-quality, standards-and Web-based curriculum. At present, 1079 students in grades K-8 from across the state of Kansas are enrolled.
