The Virtual Distance Elementary (VDE) program offers synchronous, daily instruction. Students enrolled in Virtual Distance Elementary will take all of their classes virtually, without attending a brick-and-mortar school in person. 

• Courses are delivered using the Schoology learning management system, and students will collectively log in to class via Google Meet.

• Students are actively engaged in classwork, homework, and other assignments. 

• Students who enroll in Virtual Distance Elementary make a one-year commitment to receiving all of their schooling in this format. 

• Students from all over Loudoun County will attend Virtual Distance Elementary classes together.  

• Students attend classes from 8:00 am to 2:55 pm daily.  

• Classes will follow a bell schedule, and attendance at a Google Meet is required each day. The schedule will follow a typical LCPS elementary schedule. Teachers will facilitate learning using Schoology as the primary learning management system and other tools and instructional methods, as determined by the teacher. Students complete weekly assignments, readings, discussions, and group work, as well as exams and other activities designed to enhance learning outcomes, all at times that are determined and communicated by the teacher.
