Letter from Our Head of School
Dear Parents,
As a publicly-funded online charter school, the Arkansas Virtual Academy (ARVA) makes it easy for you to be an active participant in your child’s education. ARVA families receive a complete curriculum, lesson planning programs, books and instructional materials, the use of a computer if needed, subsidized Internet access, and the guidance of a highly qualified, licensed teacher. In short, everything you need for an excellent education.
The Arkansas Virtual Academy uses the world-class K12 curriculum. With this innovative learning program, ARVA provides an education that meets or exceeds state standards, and students demonstrate their knowledge and skills through state standardized tests.
While ARVA has requirements for grade advancement, the K12 learning program allows families and teachers to work together to help elementary students maximize their academic potential. Middle school classes are more synchronous, but still allow for greater flexibility than is typically possible in traditional schools.
But ARVA is not only about lessons. Elementary teachers organize school outings to museums, roller- and ice-skating parks, local zoos, and other interesting and enjoyable sites. These events bring families together and create real connections within the ARVA community.
We are proud of the school’s achievements and our outstanding parent, community, and faculty support system. ARVA students continue to excel in all areas of academic achievement.
Not only are we proud of our school, but we also believe that it is a profoundly good choice for families who are interested in getting actively involved in their children’s education. We hope to welcome you soon to the Arkansas Virtual Academy community.
Best regards,
Karen Ghidotti
