General FAQs

WVVA is currently enrolling students in grades K–12.

Yes. We provide textbooks and instructional materials. These books and materials are dependent on the student’s grade level and the courses they’re enrolled in. High school students receive fewer books and materials than elementary and middle school students.

Students are expected to complete quizzes, tests, and other assignments in a timely manner through their attendance in synchronous class connects and completing lessons in asynchronous sessions.

In the younger grades, many of the online lessons include offline work. Students in grades K–2 spend about 30–40 percent of their time on the computer, while students in grades 3–5 spend about 50–60 percent of their time online. Screen time increases in middle school, and by high school, most of the school day is online.

Depending on your child’s IEP, we should be able to tailor instruction to meet your child’s needs. To discuss your child’s needs with us, please contact our office at 855.637.1441 and we’ll put you in touch with our special education team.

The beauty of our program is that it is flexible enough to meet children where they are in any given subject and take them where they want to go. Grade placement assessments, completed as part of the enrollment process, allow us to place your student in the appropriate level of curriculum. So, for example, if your fourth grader is doing math on a sixth-grade level and reading on a fourth-grade level, we can tailor lesson plans to meet your student’s abilities.

Students spend time with classmates online and through school outings, field trips, and other activities. In addition to school-based clubs, K12 online national clubs help connect students with like interests and passions.

There are no home visits as part of the program and no other intrusions into your home.
