Students can access instruction from anywhere in the world via an Internet-capable computer and will get access to courses not otherwise available at their school of record.

Military dependent students will have priority registration to enroll in 28 new online HVLN courses for school year 2012-2013. The priority registration period ends March 31.

Courses include advanced placement classes and regular core subject areas in science, math, English and social studies.
