As a public school district, AVA School offers a number of different online learning options to students.

AVA Full Time is a fully online public school requiring students to take a standard public school course load each semester. The school runs on a traditional 180-day academic calendar (September to June) and serves as the school of record, managing all student transcripts and progress reports. Each spring, AVA Full Time enrollment opens for the following school year. As a public school, it requires students to meet all state testing requirements.

AVA Flex allows students to take one or more online courses anytime during the year. It is open to homeschool families who want to customize their own schedule and curriculum or traditional school families who take the majority of their courses at a public or private school. School records are managed by the school (public, private, or charter) or parent (homeschool).

As your student’s school of record, AVA Full Time may provide some ESE services, related services, evaluations, annual reviews, re-evaluations, and initial eligibility determinations. If you are considering AVA Full Time, please set up an appointment with your IEP coordinator, an AVA representative will be present at the meeting to assist with any questions.

Students can expect to complete 2-4 assignments per week for each core course taken

Upon entering the course, students have access to ALL assignments, but access to tests or quizzes may not be available until certain assignments have been completed. Students move sequentially through the course but may be allowed to occasionally move ahead or test out of certain areas, pending teacher approval.

Every graded assessment is recorded in the student's personal Gradebook. Routinely monitoring grades allows you to see student progress over time. All graded assignments and current overall grade average are available for viewing. Current overall grade average, graded assignments, and teacher feedback are available for viewing at any time.
