Virtual High School

  • image Welcome to Diman's Virtual High School Program (VHS) website!

    Students enrolled in a VHS course will learn effective online learning/communication skills and time management while exploring course options not available at Diman. Experiencing the non-traditional learning format provided by VHS will also help college-bound students prepare for taking online courses in the future.

    Students are allowed to take a VHS in addition to, or in place of, their elective options built in to the Diman curriculum.  See your guidance counselor for details.

    VHS courses are open to juniors and seniors with a GPA of 3.0 or greater. Interested students should first reach out to their guidance counselor to begin the registration process.

    Fall 2023/Spring 2024 registration starts May 4th 2023!
