SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On Monday students from Utah Virtual Academy (UTVA), the first public virtual charter school in Utah, begin online classes for the start of the 2010-2011 school year.  The Utah Virtual Academy uses the award-winning K12 curriculum. The academy is a high-quality, tuition-free public school that creates an online learning experience individualized for each child.  

"Utah Virtual Academy customizes its academic programs to each child's specific learning needs, supported by the best certified teachers in Utah," said Jeff Herr, Head of School for Utah Virtual Academy. "We are looking forward to another successful and fun school year."  

Online learning is growing in popularity across Utah and across the U.S., and more families are choosing the Utah Virtual Academy. UTVA serves students statewide from kindergarten through high school.  This innovative learning program provides an education that meets or exceeds state standards, and students demonstrate their knowledge and skills through state standardized tests. With individualized learning approaches, Utah Virtual Academy and K12 provide the tools kids need to succeed in school and beyond.

UTVA creates a balanced approach toward education, using both computers and text books. Computers help provide effective assessment, planning, and time-management tools. Computers also act as powerful teaching tools that can motivate, stimulate, and inform children about the world around them. This unique multimedia approach also includes the use of traditional books, workbooks, and instructional materials.

The Utah Virtual Academy is available to all families in Utah.  The school continues to accept enrollment applicants and is hosting multiple events for students and teachers, as well as online showcases and information sessions.  For a complete list of events and information on enrollment, visit www.k12.com/utva/
