Current VIP students who wish to remain in the program do not have to submit an application.

Anyone interested in attending NCS VIP for the 2025-2026 school year must complete this form by 5 P.M. on March 24, 2025.

Interested students must be in good academic standing, having no more than one failing course at the end of the third 9 Weeks grading period (March 27th).

“The Virtual Instruction Program is an opportunity for students who are motivated to learn independently or require a more individualized learning pace,” said Tony Trimaldi, Coordinator of the NCS Virtual Instruction Program. “However, students and their families must examine whether it is the right fit for themselves as well.”

Be advised that once you have answered the questions at the link and submitted your responses, there is no reason to call or email the VIP office to verify receipt.

“Applications will be reviewed throughout the application window and the weeks following," Trimaldi explained. “Parents or guardians will receive notification via email if their student is accepted or not.”
