High-Quality Remote Instruction for Students in Grades K-12
The CVLA Secondary School is a virtual learning option, providing synchronous and asynchronous instruction by highly qualified NYS certified teachers, and allows for a full schedule of coursework. The principal and school counselor of CVLA’s secondary school work together with families and home districts to help ensure students are not only meeting graduation requirements, but are receiving the support needed to thrive. All students are expected to engage both in live, synchronous meets, as well as to complete asynchronous work, all made possible through the devices issued to students from their home districts.
