The GCS virtual school program consists of academic courses that students take online via the internet to earn credits toward a South Carolina high school diploma. All classes are taught by experienced teachers who are certified in their respective subject areas. Students are responsible for logging on to read class material, complete assignments, and to take quizzes. Classes are semester-length and require a proctored exam at the end of the course. Each semester has a published start and end date, and classes are not self-paced. GCVS Program is a program of Greenville County Schools and does not award high school diplomas.
There are two components to the Greenville County Virtual School Program (GCVSP):
- Classes offered directly through the Greenville County Schools
- Classes offered through the South Carolina Virtual School Program (SCVSP)
