NOBLE Virtual is applying for charters in several states. The charter process takes two years in most states and each state is slightly different. We are on the 4th step of a 5-step process in South Carolina but the application for Georgia is not due until June 14th. if approved by their respective states, NOBLE Virtual of South Carolina and NOBLE Virtual; of Georgia would open in the fall of 2014. We are asking that interested students get their names on a waiting list now. We are also gathering names of teachers who may be interested in teaching.
Please know that NOBEL Virtual Inc., while stemming from Forsyth County School's NOBEL Virtual World, is an independent non-profit organization. Although the school system is very supportive of scaling OpenSim throughout the nation, there was no legal mechanism for the forsyth County Schools to become an OpenSim developer and distributor to other schools and districts.
