QSI Virtual School aims to provide a quality online, English medium, North American, international education for students across the globe. Admission to QSI Virtual School is aligned to the mission, vision and values of Quality Schools International. QSI Virtual School has an inclusive admissions policy and seeks to welcome motivated and independent secondary students from diverse backgrounds from all over the globe.

QSI Virtual School will carefully review and consider all admissions applications. QVS also recognizes that a full-time online educational program may not be suitable for all students and will make admissions decisions in the best interest of the student. In this regard, QSI Virtual School seeks to admit students best suited to excel in online learning. The following are admissions criteria that are considered when accepting students into our full-time program: 

• Academic Potential – QSI Virtual School admits students who have a passion for learning and demonstrate strong academic potential based on previous school records, as well as standardized testing using NWEA MAP Growth assessments in reading, language usage, and mathematics.  

• English Language Proficiency – QSI Virtual School accepts students with demonstrated proficiency in the English language as determined by an English language assessment administered online. Students with limited English experience may expect to spend additional years enrolled in Secondary in order to graduate with a QSI diploma. 

• Student Readiness for Online Learning – QSI Virtual School admits students with demonstrated skills and readiness to be successful in online learning. This includes positive work and study habits, motivation and interest in learning, the ability to utilize technology effectively, and time management skills.  

• Demonstration of Success Orientations – As a member of Quality Schools International, students of QSI Virtual School are expected to have a positive behavior record, demonstrating the seven Success Orientations (Responsibility, Independent Endeavor, Trustworthiness, Kindness and Politeness, Concern for Others, Aesthetic Appreciation, and Group Interaction).  

Virtually every five-year-old comes to school eager to learn. The mission of Quality Schools International (QSI) is to keep this urge to learn alive in every child in all QSI schools. 

Our schools are established to provide a quality education, in the English language, for students in the cities we serve. These students are the children of parents of many nationalities who have come to a foreign country, usually for a limited stay of a year or more. Some students are permanent residents, citizens of the host country. 

Our schools follow a logical model of education which measures success by the accomplishments and attitudes of our students. We believe that all of our students can succeed, that their successes encourage them to continue in a pattern of success, and that it is the schools’ responsibility to provide the conditions for success. These conditions include: 

1. Developing clear statements in measurable terms of what the student will do to demonstrate mastery of learning; 

2. Providing the time and resources needed for each student to attain mastery; 

3. Ensuring that students engage in learning at a level which is challenging and yet a level for which each student has the prerequisite skills necessary for success. 

We believe in providing an aesthetically pleasing physical surrounding under the charge of a caring staff who believe their students will be successful, and who use time with the students as a resource for learning rather than as a boundary condition to determine when a unit of learning begins and ends. We believe in providing resources such as books, learning materials, and educational technology. In the world today, children need to become proficient in the use of computers and related technology as tools to accomplish a myriad of tasks. 

Finally, we believe in working with parents to encourage our students to adopt qualities of living which lead to success long after formal schooling has ended. These include universally accepted "success orientations" of trustworthiness, kindness/politeness, responsibility, independent endeavor, concern for others, group interaction, and aesthetic appreciation. 

We believe that more learning will occur if the student has a desire to learn, has positive feelings concerning his school environment, and succeeds in his work. A comfortable atmosphere of caring and acceptance established by the school is considered important, so that each student is encouraged to strive for excellence and to be creative. This is enhanced by an aesthetically pleasing environment with a view to appreciation of beauty and order. Each student's possibility of success increases when the student works at the appropriate level of difficulty and senses positive expectations from his teachers.
