Riverside Virtual School (RVS) was established in 2007 to offer access to high-quality, interactive online classes for students attending school or living within the Riverside Unified School District attendance area. Current partnership efforts are expanding access to courses for students in school districts throughout California. Innovative leadership and planning allows school districts to offer increased access to online learning resources in traditional face-to-face classrooms, as well as provide academic support for home-schooled students from the local community.

It is the RVS mission to provide a comprehensive catalog of rigorous, college-preparatory online classes that serve to both extend and reinforce courses offered at individual schools. This includes opportunities for credit recovery, intervention and/or remediation, accelerated learning opportunities, and increased access to Advanced Placement courses.

Riverside Virtual School is currently enrolling full-time high school students for the 2008-2009 school year. Current RUSD students who are seeking a full-time online school program, as well as local homeschoolers and/or students who qualify for an inter-district transfer from surrounding school districts, may apply to begin classes in August of 2008.
