What We Develop in Every Student

  • Use reasoning and evidence to support and communicate their thinking clearly

Problem Solvers

To turn challenges into opportunities to reimagine.
  • Identify root causes before taking action
  • Design, test, and refine creative solutions to overcome challenges
  • Collaborate with others to develop effective and innovative solutions

Innovators

To shape new possibilities for the future.
  • Think creatively to develop new ideas or enhance existing ones
  • Take risks and experiment to discover fresh solutions

Positive School Culture (PBIS)

Our Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) program promotes a positive, respectful school environment with clear expectations that encourage students to succeed and thrive.

 

Student Engagement & Clubs

At Virtual Academy, learning goes beyond the classroom. Students have meaningful opportunities to connect with peers, discover new passions, and build a strong sense of community.

Curiosity Collectibles

Explore something new! These short-term clubs give TK–12 students the chance to dive into fun and creative interests like art, crafts, K-pop, chess, and more. With new sessions offered throughout the year, there’s always something exciting to try.

Year-Long Clubs

Build skills and friendships all year long. Our ongoing clubs offer deeper experiences and hands-on learning. In the Innovators Club (Grades 6–12), students collaborate on real-world projects, from product creation to marketing and business development.

In-Person Learning Days

Bring learning to life! During in-person days, students collaborate with peers and teachers through engaging, hands-on activities that strengthen skills and build connections.
 

Field Trips

Learning doesn’t stop at the screen. Field trips provide exciting opportunities to explore, discover, and connect classroom learning to the real world.
