How is student progress assessed?

The Colorado Virtual Academy is a mastery-based program, which means K-8 students master concepts before moving on to the next lesson. Following NCLB and state guidelines, students are expected to make at least a year’s growth in a year’s time. Teachers will assess mastery and provide feedback to students and families.
