About the program

The Victorian High-Ability Program (VHAP) is an online 10-week extension program in English and Mathematics for students in Years 5 to 8.

VHAP offers 4 courses – primary English, primary mathematics, secondary English and secondary mathematics. Students are eligible to participate in each course once.

VHAP is delivered by Virtual School Victoria during school hours, with the students being under the direct supervision of their home school. Students participate in one 60-minute virtual session per week over 10 weeks.

After completing the virtual program, students participate in a face-to-face masterclass with other high-ability students from schools in their local area. Masterclasses consolidate the new knowledge and relationships built through the virtual program. Schools collaborate to deliver masterclasses with teacher professional learning available to support this.
