High School Curriculum

West Virginia Virtual Academy (WVVA) knows success is not a single destination, and that the journey can often take many turns. No matter the path, we believe in unlocking every learner's potential by meeting them where they are and helping them reach their goals.

As students move through middle school and into high school, they take on greater independence and responsibility for their learning. High school courses are designed to help students build the knowledge and skills they need for success after graduation whether they plan to attend a four-year university, pursue community or technical college, enter the workforce, or explore another career pathway.

Throughout their courses, students:

  • Learn grade-level content aligned with academic standards
  • Complete coursework that may include writing, research, and projects
  • Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills
  • Build skills that support college, career, and life readiness

Eligible high school students may also have opportunities to earn college credit through dual credit and dual enrollment programs.

WVVA also offers credit recovery options for students who need additional opportunities to earn required high school credits.

Your student can gain valuable skills and experiences for the future whether their plans include college, a career, or both. WVVA students can explore career options and participate in specialized, career-related learning experiences.

Students can choose from courses in these career fields:

Eligible students may also have opportunities to participate in WVVA’s Tech Bridge program, which supports approved shared enrollment opportunities with Career Technical Education (CTE) centers and other postsecondary partners while maintaining progress toward high school graduation.

Students may also have opportunities to prepare for industry-recognized certification exams upon graduation.²
