Upcoming Events

The Wisconsin Virtual Academy uses curriculum and services provided by K12. With 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, K12 lessons use physical materials and offline tools as well.

For high school, WIVA uses the K12912 program from K12. Whether students are targeting a top-tier, four-year university, a local community college, or an immediate career, WIVA prepares students to maximize their post-high school success through K12912.

Certified Teachers, Superior Teaching Tools

At the Wisconsin Virtual Academy, all students interact with one or more state-certified teachers (depending on grade level) and communicate regularly with their teachers through e-mail, telephone, online synchronized opportunities, and direct instruction. Each WIVA family receives all instructional materials, including a wide array of textbooks, CDs, videos, and other hands-on tools and resources. These materials complement the interactive online elements of the program, ensuring that students receive instruction using the best method for each subject.

Extensive Support System

WIVA also provides an extensive support system to parents and students. In grades K-8, working closely with the teacher, the parent (or other responsible adult) serves as a “learning coach” to the child, helping 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 state certified 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.

Individualized Learning, Public School Accountability

In addition to providing individualized learning, as an online public school WIVA provides the structure, administrative support, oversight, accountability, and state testing required of all public schools.
