VFS does not offer an accredited Oregon Diploma. Instead we work one on one with our oldest students to help them achieve their goals whether they intend to go to college, take an apprenticeship or internship, start their own business, or have something else in mind. Students from schools like ours as well as hundreds of homeschoolers have attended universities and colleges by following alternate admissions requirements.  We support interested students with attending the universities of their choice which can include preparing for the SAT, co-enrolling in some community college, preparing for an interview with an admisisons officer, and/or completing a GED.  We also offer our students narrative transcripts and letters of recommendation where merited. 

At VFS we recognize that learning happens all the time, like breathing. And when students are allowed to follow their own interests, learning is often deeper and more rewarding. There are an infinite number of ways to learn at VFS including: taking a class, reading a book, doing a worksheet, talking to a staff member, talking to another student, practicing a skill, researching on the internet, asking a question, participating in an apprenticeship, doing an experiment, and watching others.  You can also learn a lot by sitting still, unlearning things, and watching what goes on around you.
