Flexible Learning That Works for Your Family
The Virtual Learning Academy (VLA) at Heights Campus is a virtual home learning program designed for academic success. In today’s fast-paced world, creating an effective home learning program can be challenging, but VLA is here to provide the support you need.
Our advising teachers collaborate with you and your child to craft a personalized, learning plan that aligns with your academic goals. We recognize the unique needs of each child and strive to create a teacher-parent partnership that fosters success in education.
With the majority of school work done independently according to the family’s schedule, you can dedicate the time necessary to support your child in accessing learning materials. Students engage in weekly Zoom labs from Monday through Thursday and can participate in additional Zoom learning sessions throughout the week for more direct instruction and support.

A Customized Education Pathway
Our Virtual Learning Academy program is a dynamic online and in-person learning experience tailored for students seeking flexibility and a self-paced environment. Ideal for those desiring a non-traditional approach or facing challenges in conventional schools, our program provides a customized educational pathway for students on track to graduate or with credit deficiencies.
Our program offers a variety of online and work-based learning opportunities, empowering students to prepare for college or careers. To ensure a well-rounded experience, students are required to attend a scheduled in-person 2.5-hour session on campus with their advising teacher at least once a week, with variations based on grade level and course progression.
For students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), additional on-site time may be necessary to meet specific goals. While we don’t offer sports, music, or multiple world languages (Spanish is available), students have the option to access these activities at their neighborhood school.

Tailored learning
Learning plans
We create a student learning plan that is individualized to the student’s academic needs.
Self-paced
The structure of the day depends on the family schedule, the student grade level, and the student’s ability to focus. Our online learning is not time bound.
Flexible schedule
Each student will have a written learning plan that outlines academic goals and learning activities. Advising teachers will work with students and parents to develop a schedule that works best for them.
Advising teacher
Each student is paired with an advising teacher who develops and monitors a student learning plan that is individualized to the student’s academic needs.
Social emotional learning
Students meet in small groups for social emotional learning. This allows us to build a sense of community for students.
