Altus Public Schools is now giving students an opportunity to take classes online.

The Altus Public Virtual School is a new program which gives students the option of taking classes in a traditional setting, online or combining the two into a unique experience. The program allows students to take classes online and also participate in school sponsored extra-curricular activities.

Officials say the program is designed for students who would do well in an online learning environment or are already seeing success in an online program.
