SoCoVA or WHS Hybrid Core, which one is right for me?

Windsor High School (WHS)  is our comprehensive high school, featuring our unique core system (starting in 10th grade) allowing students to focus on their future goals and interests while enjoying a classic high school experience. The Hybrid Core allows students the flexibility to pursue educational experiences outside the high school setting, including college level courses at the local junior college, while still enjoying the experience of a comprehensive high school. Students in the Hybrid Core have a flexible schedule that allows them to balance their high school classes, college courses, and AVID sessions. This structure ensures that students can handle the dual enrollment process and provides opportunities for internships or extracurricular activities that enhance their overall high school experience.

Within the Hybrid Core, WHS will also be offering an Early College Access Program for WHS Students. This program will provide WHS students access to college-level coursework while still in high school, allowing them to earn both high school and college credits. AVID participation is required for freshmen and sophomores to ensure they develop the skills needed to succeed in college, and it is highly recommended that juniors and seniors continue building college readiness. By the time students graduate, they could have earned up to two years of college credits or an associate degree, significantly reducing the time and cost of completing a bachelor’s degree.

Sonoma County Virtual Academy (SoCoVA) is a completely virtual learning environment, with students completing their work online, with regular support from supervising teachers via video conferencing. Students can be fully A-G qualified at the end of their four years. SoCoVA is suited to students who need maximum flexibility to complete their work, but who are self-starters and strongly motivated to complete their work daily. It is well suited to students who are heavily involved in non-school activities such as sports or the arts, or students who struggle with the in-person learning environment. SoCoVA students can enjoy many of the same dual-enrollment opportunities as students at WHS and BPLW Collegiate, while still building a flexible schedule that suits their needs.
