Students will study the core subjects of English/language arts, math, science and history, as well as some electives. CVA's dedicated state-certified teachers will facilitate lessons during live, interactive online classes, and interact with students and families via phone, email, web-based classrooms and online discussions, building close partnerships with parents and students to support academic success. The online platform enables students to enjoy a safe learning environment while connecting with classmates and teachers from across the state. Throughout the school year, CVA will build a sense of community through in-person field trips and social outings.
