St. Mary’s County Public Schools (SMCPS) is exploring offering a virtual learning experience within our existing Virtual Academy for rising 9th-12th graders who are currently enrolled in home instruction. This initiative aims to provide eligible students with a comprehensive online educational option that aligns with district standards and offers opportunities for academic and extracurricular engagement. Please note: Submission of an application does not guarantee enrollment, as this Virtual Instruction program is contingent on community interest, funding, and resources.

The application window opens on Friday, February 20th, and will close at 11:59 PM on March 8, 2026. To apply, please complete the application here. Individual applications need to be completed for each student. For more details, please email virtual@smcps.org or call (301) 863-4090.
