TOWSON, MD—While Baltimore County Public Schools will be providing full-time, in-school instruction for all students during the 2021-2022 school year, BCPS will also offer a Virtual Learning Program for students in Kindergarten through Grade 12.

The BCPS Virtual Learning Program will provide full-time virtual instruction from BCPS staff, including live (synchronous) instruction and anytime (asynchronous) learning.

Students enrolling in the BCPS Virtual Learning Program will also remain enrolled in their BCPS school. As a BCPS student, they may participate in meals, sports, extracurricular activities, and other opportunities.

Families interested in the Virtual Learning Program may attend a Family Information Session to learn more about the program’s benefits and limitations (such as which classes will be available). No registration is required for the online information sessions, and links for the sessions are provided in this

In addition to the information sessions, families can send questions to [email protected] at any time. Registration for the Virtual Learning Program will take place from Wednesday, May 19, through Friday, May 28.
