Online School Students’ First Day of School is at Home

Many San Diego-area students in grades K-12 will be returning to school this fall in the comfort of their own home, having chosen to attend the full-time, tuition-free, online public school, California Virtual Academy @ San Diego (CAVA @ San Diego). Students will begin their 2016-2017 school year on August 29 as the program marks its 14th year of operation in the state.

CAVA @ San Diego is open to all students in grades K through 12, providing students a unique school setting and highly supportive approach. The school is one of 10 independent charter schools in California that uses the K12 online curriculum to offer students in grades K–12 a unique learning experience. The innovative curriculum and technology, combined with a strong partnership between families and teachers, creates an opportunity for teachers to focus on each student’s academic needs and gives a growing number of students a powerful educational option to reach their true potential.

Families enroll in CAVA @ San Diego for a wide variety of reasons. Some students are advanced learners, motivated to increase their knowledge beyond the basic course offerings, while others are athletes or performers looking to balance a full schedule.

"The students that enroll in CAVA @ San Diego seek a personalized learning experience that enables them to excel and explore their own learning style," said Kimberly Odom, Director of Special Education. "Each student receives quality instruction and support in a one-on-one setting as they grow throughout the year."

Teachers for CAVA @ San Diego are California-credentialed and provide instruction, guidance and support, and interact with students and parents via email, web-based classrooms, online discussions, phone and face-to-face meetings.
