For Colorado Virtual Academy Students, Start of School Only a Click Away

Enrollment still open for new students

DENVER, Aug. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Thousands of students across the state are gearing up for the start of another school year in the largest public school in the state – the Colorado Virtual Academy (COVA). Rather than boarding school buses, COVA students will log on to school and enter their online classrooms.

Now in its 11th year, COVA continues to be the state's most popular online public school serving students in kindergarten through high school. The tuition-free public school uses the award winning K12 academic program, which is offered in online public schools in 29 states and the District of Columbia.

Heidi Heineke-Magri, COVA Head of School, said, "We are excited for the start of the new school year. COVA students have the resources and individualized attention to receive an exceptional education. Our school is a great choice for students that need more personalized learning programs and for parents who want to be more involved in their child's education."

COVA teachers provide instruction, guidance, support, and regularly interact with student and parents via email, web-based classrooms, online discussions, phone, and through face-to-face meetings.

Online learning is one of the fastest growing areas in education. More than 4 million students are enrolled in online learning in the U.S. Online public schools, such as COVA, offer students expanded course options, increased education opportunities, and customized learning programs regardless of geographic or socioeconomic circumstances.

COVA is still accepting enrollment applications and is hosting various events and informational sessions. For a complete list and information on how to enroll, visit www.K12.com/COVA.
