"In 2008, NCSSM extended the school to encompass more students by starting an online program (NCSSM Online). It allows students to stay in their public school and take NCSSM classes for free. NCSSM is connected to the North Carolina Research and Education Network as are all K-12 pull school districts in the state. The high-speed connectivity provided on the network through MCNC allows NCSSM education to be available to all students in North Carolina." 

You can read more about NCSSM Online and what MCNC is doing to support the program in this article on the WRAL TechWire.
