Virtual school enrollment is winding down. If you haven't already enrolled and would like to enroll in Commerce Virtual School, please do so by August 3rd, 2020. We need accurate numbers to assist in our planning.
If you're a Commerce resident and have transferred to another online virtual school in the past, please consider returning to Commerce Schools now that we have this option available.
These are just a few of the benefits we offer over the statewide virtual schools -
1. Local teachers that are available to assist you.
2. Ability to participate in Commerce athletics, band and other extracurricular activities.
3. Tax dollars staying at home and not being shipped to for profit companies.
We have already welcomed back several former Epic students, join them and reap the benefits of local education.
