KATY VIRTUAL SCHOOL REGISTRATION OPEN
For some Katy ISD soon to be 9th through 11th grade students, supplemental virtual classes are an excellent option for earning graduation credits and expanding learning opportunities. Katy Virtual School (KVS), a paid, supplemental online course program, has begun registration for the Summer 2022, Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 semesters.
“This paid, supplemental virtual model of e-learning is in high demand with our high school students because it supports graduation plans and delivers quality instruction to Katy ISD learners, outside of normal school hours,” said Susan Richards, Katy ISD Instructional Technology e-Learning Manager. “KVS courses support students who need a flexible schedule to participate in programs during the school day. It’s an excellent opportunity for students,” added Richards.
KVS offers a wide range of courses from Creative Writing, AP Art History, English III, World Geography, Economics, Psychology and more. There are over 45 Advanced Placement (AP), Katy Advanced Program (KAP) and academic level courses available to students with additional opportunities being added each year. Most KVS courses are $200 per semester.
Over 4,000 high school students enroll in the District’s KVS program each year. Since its launch in 2013, the primary goal of KVS is to offer choice and flexibility in challenging online courses developed and taught by Katy ISD teachers.
For more information, students can visit with their campus counselor, email KVS at katyvirtualschool@katyisd.org or visit the Katy ISD Virtual School website.
KATY ISD LAUNCHES SPRING COMMUNITY EDUCATION COURSES
“For over 30 years, the Katy ISD Community Education Program has grown to include almost 2,000 participants per semester,” said Karen Lewis, Director of Internal & Community Relations. “We have found that many participants who take a course, return in following semesters to take more classes,” added Lewis.
Registration is available online. Everyone is invited to register for classes, even if you live outside of the Katy ISD district. Certificates of completion are issued for most classes. For questions, call the Community Education Department at 281-396-6365.

We charge $20 per class, but the first one is free! For more information, check out donatutors.com or email us at donatutors@gmail.com.
