Students Begin 2011-12 School Year at California Virtual Academies
Enrollments still being accepted
SIMI VALLEY, Calif., Aug. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On Monday, August 15, school starts for students of the California Virtual Academies (CAVA). The 2011-2012 school year marks CAVA's 10th anniversary.
CAVA is the state's largest network of online public charter schools serving students in kindergarten through high school. CAVA gives students from almost every region of the state access to a high quality and individualized public education program.
CAVA students use the award-winning curriculum developed by K12 Inc., the nation's largest provider of online school programs for students K through 12. K12 Inc. provides its academic programs to students in 29 states and the District of Columbia.
"Back to school is always an exciting time at CAVA as we welcome the opportunity to provide California students with an exceptional online public school experience," said CAVA Head of School Katrina Abston. "CAVA students are actively engaged with our innovative and personalized curriculum and class activities. We look forward to working with more students in the future."
CAVA teachers provide instruction, guidance and support, and regularly interact with students and parents via email, interactive web-based classrooms, online discussions, phone, and face-to-face meetings. CAVA teachers also organize weekly "Community Days" -- a program that blends online and offline learning with social activities.
The CAVA schools are tuition-free and open to students throughout California. At CAVA, students access interactive online lessons and receive computers, books and materials sent directly to their homes. This enables every student to receive a complete education at home, on the road, or wherever an Internet connection can be found. CAVA ensures students receive the tools necessary to succeed over the course of the school year and beyond.
Many students from CAVA's 2011 graduating class are ready to attend colleges such as Columbia University, Boston University, Pepperdine University, University of California Berkeley, University of California Los Angeles, American University (DC), and San Diego State University. Eighty-four percent of CAVA graduates plan on attending a post-secondary school.
CAVA is still accepting enrollment applications and is hosting multiple back-to-school events throughout the month of September for students and teachers, as well as online showcases and information sessions. For a complete list of events and information about enrollment, visit www.K12.com/CAVA.
