UCVirtual is our in-house blended learning program built by UCPS teachers. Students are able to take a variety of courses in our online learning platform, Canvas. 

Apex Learning is an online, web-based program available for credit recovery courses. Students can work on Apex Learning outside the school setting but tests or quizzes should be taken at school. If you are interested in enrolling in APEX courses, contact your high school guidance counselor. The counselor can provide information about eligibility and coordinate high school and college class schedules.

NC Virtual Public School (NCVPS) is the state virtual school that offers online courses to North Carolina students. By virtue of their online course delivery, students from all areas of the state have access to courses and highly qualified teachers in subjects that may not be available at their local school.

In Union County Public Schools, NCVPS is used for students who want to take a course not available at the school, a course that cannot be accommodated in his/her schedule, a course above the full course load, or a course not offered by UCVirtual.

Parents, students, and other stakeholders can access NCVPS course offerings by visiting the NCVPS Course Catalog. You will find courses by subject area or program. For each course, you will see the course number, course title, credits earned, state test associated with the course, and the semester that the course is offered (summer, yearlong fall, early fall, fall, early spring, and spring).

The Career and College Promise Program (CCP) allows qualifying high school students to enroll in community college pathway courses at South Piedmont Community College (SPCC) while attending their home school as a part of the traditional school day.  The goal of the program is to provide students with the appropriate college options based on their personal desires, whether it be to continue on to an associate’s degree, complete introductory college courses, or prepare to enter the workforce. 

Students must be capable of completing college-level work, as well as continue to meet requirements to maintain concurrent enrollment. Students must adhere to all course requirements and examinations required by the instructor or institution and all other eligibility criteria outlined in the North Carolina Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA). Any student interested in applying for this program should contact his/her counselor for more information.

Please Note: The Career and College Promise Program is NOT connected to Union County Early College.
