As a shared, public school program, we offer everything from individualized, traditional book coursework to on-line "virtual" instruction to any Washington student at no cost to the student's family. We serve students who want to enrich their traditional classroom experience by taking Advanced Placement (AP) courses that their current school day schedule cannot accommodate. CVA is ideal for students who are at risk, have special learning needs, or are homebound for a period of time. We can tailor the learning experience to meet unique family goals or circumstances.

A student has unparalleled educational flexibility with CVA. Whether working on an assignment at home, in the public library, or on a family trip, students are free to move through the curriculum as rapidly as they wish. Students do have the opportunity to demonstrate to teachers, parents, and peers what they have learned. CVA’s curriculum meets Washington State Standards.

The CVA network consists of public schools in a growing coalition of districts. As such, your child's schooling is tuition free. Your curriculum resources are also provided free of charge. For access to on-line course work, a computer can be provided for families who need this additional assistance.

CVA's highly personalized approach allows students to take classes and lessons from instructors right in your community. Art, music lessons, dance, karate, field trips, experiential learning, and hands-on opportunities can be a part of your child's learning program at no cost to you. Why? Because CVA is a public school option.

Parents have the fundamental right to choose the education they desire for their children. CVA is committed to offering parents and their children the choice of schooling that is best for them. Each CVA student receives a program designed especially for his or her learning styles, talents, interests, and other learning needs. We serve families with maximum personalization and flexibility.
