Woodbridge Township School District is proud to announce a partnership with Educere to provide 9-12 virtual education services for the summer of 2011. The courses that Educere are providing to Woodbridge Township School District for credit recovery purposes would be delivered entirely by the established educational institutions. Each course includes the course content, a virtual instructor and the grading. Students would be responsible to complete all of this work online.
The grades earned through this program will be recognized at each of the three high schools upon completion of the courses. The abbreviated courses offered this summer are condensed courses for students to seek enrichment, to recover credits or to make-up failed courses.
