Why VirtualEDU?
"VirtualEDU, to me, is kind of a place where everyone is accepted.
There's so much flexibility in how you show yourself,
what work you get, and when you want to do your work."

About VirtualEDU
Welcome to VirtualEDU, Hopkins Public Schools' fully online and blended learning school serving grades 3-12. We're breaking the myth that online learning is cold and impersonal with our human-centered, dynamic learning-environment. At VirtualEDU, students flourish because they are seen, valued, and cared about for who they are. Choose between a fully-online experience, our blended model, available for students grades 6-12, which offers a mix of online courses and in-person learning at Hopkins East, located in Golden Valley.
