Welcome to West Valley Virtual Academy
West Valley Virtual Academy offers a wide range of accredited courses in grades K through 12. We have the luxury of being able to provide an education that enhances the way students learn. Our main goal is for students to be successful and graduate from high school.
Our goal, dedicated to student success, means West Valley Virtual Academy chooses to partner with some of the top curriculum provider companies in the world, as well as our own authored courses. The reason we do this is to be able to offer students courses that are personalized for their learning styles.
Our certified, highly qualified online instructors are able to deliver a course on any platform we have available. Our platform partners include OMEGA, PLATO, PEARSON, ROSETTA STONE, and ACELLUS. While the title of a course may be the same, there are differences in presentation, which can allow us to align student learning and interest with the courses. That is why the right selec-tion for a student is paramount. Regional representatives work closely with schools and families to choose the courses that will lead to student success.
West Valley Virtual Academy instructors will work with your student to help them be successful in their coursework. All courses allow students to work at their own pace through the materials but we understand that they may, at times, need assistance with the work and our teachers are ready to assist.
West Valley Virtual Academy is proud of providing education services to students around the globe and our 89% completion rate. What sets us apart is our ability to adapt to the ever chang-ing face of education. We stay at the forefront of education with active participation in iNACOL and Advanced Ed.
The following represent a listing of the courses that it is our pleasure to present. If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at 509.823.2602.
