__**Distance learning options**__

//Here at West Central we do have a number of options to take classes above and beyond the curriculum. The classes available can really add to your education and develop your personal career goals. Some of these classes are free while others will have tuition and books that you will need to pay for.//

__**Learning Power**__ A program paid for by the state to encourage more students to take AP classes. Learning Power classes are free of charge and __they will pay you if you pass the AP test__. If you take one of these classes and pass the class and the AP test at the end, they will pay you $100. These classes are all done online so will fit anywhere in your schedule. Even if we already have this class here at WC, you can still take he online version if there are problems in your schedule.

__**South Dakota Virtual School**__ The Virtual School was created several years ago to give more class options to schools in smaller schools. Some of the classes are electives that we don’t have here. Other classes are credit recovery classes to help you complete graduation requirements. They are all done online. They are offered by several different providers within the Virtual School. With all of these classes, __you will be responsible for the tuition and charges.__ Prices range from $250-$325 per semester. See the class options at [|www.sdvs.k12.sd.us/] New this year: AP US History - Free

__**College classes**__ You have the option to take college classes online while you are in high school. These are freshman level college classes from DSU, USD and SDSU. The credits can be transferred anywhere and the classes fit into nearly any major. They give you a nice introduction to college level material and can get a requirement out of the way. The only prerequisite is that you have taken the ACT and scored at least 18. With all these classes, you will be responsible for tuition and books, which can be substantial, but similar to what you pay on campus. The current tuition rate is $210 per credit hour and many of these classes are 3 credits. Check out these websites to learn more:
