Iowa Virtual Academy Returns for 2016-2017 School Year


Iowa Virtual Academy (IAVA), an online public school program of the Clayton Ridge Community School District, will begin its 2016-2017 school year on August 23 as the program marks its fifth year.

The tuition-free public school offers an alternative to a traditional brick-and-mortar education and is available to all Iowa students in grades K-12. IAVA allows its students to access coursework virtually and provides an extensive support system to families. State-certified teachers work closely with parents to monitor progress and provide professional instruction, communicating daily with students through e-mail, telephone, and online meetings.

"We're thrilled to begin another exciting school year with our returning families and welcome the new families joining us," said Steven Hoff, Head of School at Iowa Virtual Academy. "At our school, we make it our mission to provide a personalized experience for each individual learner in order to prepare them for a bright and healthy future."

IAVA's unique curriculum is designed to adapt to each individual. Students have the ability t accelerate through subjects at which they excel, while those who need more time to understand a concept can work at a more comfortable pace. The flexibility, along with support from teachers, allows students to fully grasp material and discover a learning style that works best for them.



The IAVA high school program offers more than 150 core, elective and Advanced Placement courses designed to let students explore a high school program tailored to their goals and abilities. Subjects such as history, math, science and language arts are available as Honors or AP level courses, and students can engage in a wide selection of electives, including Career Technical Education (CTE) courses designed to give them a head start on job skills.

At IAVA, students can participate in an active school community which plans field trips and school outings year-round. For more information about Iowa Virtual Academy or to see a calendar of events, visit http://iava.k12.com/
