In the 2022-2023 school year, East Penn will offer our Virtual East Penn Academy (VESPA) at all three levels, high school, middle school, and elementary school. Each level has its own course catalog and program handbook. Please click the button below to learn more about each program.

The Students in Transition Educational Program (STEP) emphasizes relationships, communication, learning, and opportunities to build skills and attributes at a time when students are experiencing personal or external challenges. These supports will enable them to continue their academic progress utilizing an alternative schedule that meets their needs.
