Virtual Learning
Our goal is for every student to experience personal growth and mastery of course-level objectives while experiencing a flexible schedule and connection to a caring community.
- Learn from some of the best virtual curricula
- Edgenuity will remain as the primary learning management system for secondary. The elementary curriculum is created by SPS instructions to align with the district.
- SPS teachers will create, blend, vet, modify, and rewrite lessons to improve student learning and experiences.
- Content may be delivered via Seesaw, Google Classroom, or Canvas in a few cases.
- Monitor your progress
- Online tools make it easy for teachers, parents, and students themselves to make sure they are maintaining a rate of work that will allow them to complete the course at the appropriate pace.
- Work nearly exclusively online or with some in-person experiences
- Students will be able to complete nearly the entirety of their experience virtually.
- Some classes may require in-person experiences at the SPVA Learning Lab
- Certain courses, like performing arts, may not have virtual alternatives available. SPVA students will be able to enroll in in-person classes in these cases.
