WE HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON...
Let’s Partner for Enhanced Educational Opportunities
The youth of today are more technologically savvy, more independent, and more driven than
ever imagined. Plus, gaining college acceptance is more competitive than ever. High school
students are at a critical point that can really dictate their path in life. Being provided with a
variety of academic pathways, students can reach their goals—whether it’s gaining college
admission or graduating from high school.
National University Virtual High School (NUVHS), an accredited, comprehensive online high
school, would like to partner with your school to increase academic offerings that will provide
your students with the option to take challenging college-prep and Advanced Placement
(AP®) courses in an engaging online learning environment.

What’s in it for the Students?
It takes a special kind of student to thrive
in online education—one who can work
independently, possesses good time-
management skills, and is highly motivated
to achieve.
Although NUVHS courses are challenging,
students tend to excel because they are
learning the material at their own pace,
and receive personalized attention from
instructors. If a student enrolled in NUVHS-
taught courses is struggling, instructors will
intervene to provide necessary support.
In conjunction with National University (NU),
students enrolled in NUVHS-taught courses have
access to:
Student Concierge Services—provides support
for parents and students
NU Library—one of the largest online libraries
in the U.S.
NU Writing Center—offers help with drafting,
revising, and organizing written work
NU Mathematics Center—offers tutoring in
mathematical problem solving
College and Career Center—prepares students
for college with individualized advice and
assessments
Additional benefits include:
• Continuous open enrollment for fall,
spring, or summer academic terms
• Flexibility to complete courses at a
personalized pace
• 24/7 access to the help desk
and tech support
• Frequent communication with instructors
• Special attention to students’ preferred
learning styles
• Small class sizes for a dynamic
environment
NUVHS continuously strives to achieve
rigorous external accreditations as part of its
commitment to providing the highest quality
coursework within the online
learning environment.

Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC)
