How it Works

Elk Grove Unified School District Virtual Academy uses curriculum provided by K12 and Aventa Learning by K12 .  Learning can happen at home, on the road, or wherever an Internet connection can be found. While attendance, teacher interaction, and daily lessons are conducted online, our lessons use physical materials and offline tools as well.

For high school, Elk Grove Unified School District Virtual Academy uses the Aventa Learning by K12 curriculum. Whether targeting a top-tier, 4-year university, a local community college, or an immediate career, Elk Grove Unified School District Virtual Academy prepares students to maximize their post-high school success. 

At Elk Grove Unified School District Virtual Academy, all students interact with one or more state-certified teachers (depending on the grade level) and communicate regularly with their teachers through e-mail, telephone, and online meetings. Each Elk Grove Unified School District Virtual Academy family receives online and offline materials, including a wide array of textbooks, CDs, videos, and other hands-on tools and resources when needed to enhance the learning experience. These materials complement the interactive online elements of our program, ensuring that students receive instruction using the best method for each subject matter.

Elk Grove Unified School District Virtual Academy also provides an extensive support system to both parents and students.

In grades 6-8, working closely with the teacher, the parent (or other responsible adult) helps to facilitate his or her progress and working to modify the pace and schedule as needed.

At the high school level the adult is less involved, as students work at more of a collective pace with a class of students in conjunction with the teacher. Each teacher is Highly Qualified and trained in his or her specific subject area. In addition, monthly networking opportunities are provided through various events and outings, enabling the entire school community to keep in close contact.
