Virtual Academies

What is the vision?

The Virtual Academy program at Sequoia Grove partners with students and the entire learning team to promote student success in core subject areas in a safe, online learning environment. Our High School Virtual Academy provides virtual instruction, both synchronous and asynchronous, to meet the unique learning needs of all students.

HSVA offers two options for learning:

  • HSVA-Live! classes meet 2x per week in Zoom + asynchronous assignments for the rest of the school week

  • HSVA-Edmentum is 100% asynchronous and utilizes the Edmentum platform to deliver quality instruction with a variety of accessibility tools

Classes are offered in all core subject areas and are standards-alight and taught by caring, supportive, and experienced credentialed teachers. HSVA currently offers the following a-g approved classes:

  • English 9-12

  • Pre-Algebra*, Algebra I-II, Geometry, Integrated Math I-III

  • Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics

  • World History, US History, Government, Economics

  • Spanish 1-2, German 1

  • Art I

  • Leadership, Academic Decathlon, Military Science

*Pre-Algebra is NOT a-g.

All of our HSVA teachers have a single-subject credential in their subject area and are considered to be highly qualified teachers. They all have experience working with homeschool students and in an online learning environment; and are trained to safely and effectively use Zoom, Schoology, and Edmentum to enhance the learning experiences of our students.

HSVA supports my learning by having interesting classes that draw me in and not push me out.
