VPS students in grades 6-12 can participate in a variety of full-day or half-day Programs of Choice and Choice Schools that help them explore their interests and gain the knowledge and skills needed for their future careers. Current students may apply for any of the programs that serve the grade they will be in next year.
Enrollment in these programs and schools is free, but students must apply for admission.
- Students who live within district boundaries will be given priority over students from other districts.
- Students who are not accepted to a program may be placed on a waiting list.
