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.

Rural Virtual Academy has been an excellent school in terms of academic programs. There are many clubs and extracurriculars for different interests, the coursework can be as independent or interactive as a student desires, and their Dual Credit offerings have helped me get a significant head start with college credits.

I loved the RVA. It opened up my eyes to many career options with different learning styles. It led me to love to learn during the COVID pandemic and beyond. The activities and field trips in person were great in person interactions for me as a student learning virtually. RVA really taught me how to advocate for myself and think outside the box of education.

RVA gives us the flexibility I need to learn at my level and when I want. This helps my family travel during the school year and me to work during the school day. The teachers are amazing and supportive, and know what to do in a virtual setting as many have been doing this for years.

This Academy is the BEST. It is sometimes hard to say "best" when not compared to any other Academy we have been part of so far in our lives but I will say as a Mom/Mentor it was the best experience all around. Between the teachers, flexible scheduling, curriculum, and clubs offered it was all truly...
