We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I love Lawrence Virtual School. It's the perfect school for student athletes and students who can't handle the structure of an in-person school. The teachers are very understanding, and I learned more than I did at in person school. They give you so much flexibility and resources for success.

I really loved the teachers- you learn so much and they pour lots and lots of time into their students- even offering one on one time with those who may be struggling.

LVS is a great environment for students to prosper and get the education that fits their needs. Teachers are incredibly supportive and the coursework is challenging, yet doable. Everyone is welcome at LVS and it doesn't feel like a school - it feels like a family.
