What Parents Should Know

At 4.6:1 students to teachers, Virtual Learning Academy (h) sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.

Virtual Learning Academy (h) is a charter school: publicly funded, but run with more independence than a traditional district school. Many charters are built around a specific model or focus, so it's worth understanding this one's mission, how enrollment works, and how it differs from the district schools nearby.

Virtual Learning Academy (h) is a virtual school, so instruction happens mostly online. That flexibility suits some kids and frustrates others; it asks a lot of self-discipline and a steady setup at home.
