VIA students have the option to complete their program of study in China or in the United States at a VIA partner high school. AP courses and other programs for college credit are available for students completing their senior year at partner high schools in the United States. VIA also partners with top tier Vermont and other US universities to ensure students who successfully complete the program have priority access to Vermont and other US universities. In addition VIA provides opportunities for US and students from other countries to study in the program for all or part of their high school education creating a truly international education experience. Shanghai, developed over 1,000 years ago as an important seaport in the Yangtze Delta region in Eastern China, provides an ideal site for international education.

As a college-preparatory school, VIA’s curriculum will be grounded in the history of eastern and western ideas. VIA will serve Chinese, US and other students from around the world. VIA’s programs and curriculum is based on the Vermont Frameworks, Vermont graduation requirements, and the Common Core State Standards.

US students who enroll in VIA will experience aspects of Chinese education and the city of Shanghai, while having the support of Vermont licensed educators in a familiar US educational curriculum. VIA views these students as ambassadors who will return to their home states with intimate knowledge of the Chinese culture and history. VIA is headquartered in Vermont and will hire teachers trained and licensed in Vermont.

VIA is a part of a growing exchange between the United States and China that began with President Nixon’s visit to China in 1972, almost forty years ago. VIA supports initiatives to send more US students to China in the coming years. As part of this ongoing and developing exchange, VIA has the support of the North American High-Tech Center (NAHTC), headquartered in Massachusetts, USA. NAHTC supports regional exchange and cooperation between US and China in the field of education as well as business.
