Portage Area Junior/Senior High School

LOG IN

Portage Area has partnered with VHS Learning, a nonprofit that provides world-class online programs to students and schools everywhere, since 2010.

How does it work?

• Each class is led by a teacher and consists of students from around the world giving students the opportunity to work with a diverse group of peers.  
• Classes average 21 students to maximize student-to-student and teacher-to-student interaction.   
• Classes are paced and have weekly due dates for assignments, group work and discussion posts.   
• Students can access their course work anywhere they have internet access and are not required to log in at a certain time each day.   
• Classes include group projects, interactive lessons, and group discussions and give every student a chance to participate and be heard in class.   
• Portage Area will grant credit to students who successfully complete VHS Learning classes.
