Who We Are: Overview

The Texas Virtual Academy@Southwest uses the K¹² curriculum to offer Eastern and North Central Texas students—including greater Abilene, Austin, Houston, Corpus Christi, Wichita Falls, and Dallas/Fort Worth—in grades 3-9 the opportunity to achieve their potential, tuition free. With individualized learning approaches, the Texas Virtual Academy@Southwest and K¹² provide the tools kids need to succeed—in school and beyond.

• An active school community, which organizes fun and informative monthly activities where TXVA parents, students, and representatives share their successes, helpful hints, and more.
• A high quality, tuition-free public education that enables a learning experience that is individualized for each student.

The Texas Virtual Academy@Southwest's mission is to provide Texas students with an excellent education that is grounded in high academic standards, in order to help our students achieve their full academic and social potential.

The core philosophy of TXVA@Southwest is that all young people can achieve academic excellence if they are provided rigorous instruction, high standards, informed guidance, and individual attention. Although we use the computer as a learning tool, we believe that education is primarily a human endeavor that relies on caring individuals, involved parents and committed teachers.
