Chesapeake Virtual Academy High offers high school students the opportunity to take a variety of fully online courses as part of their high school experience. Chesapeake Virtual Academy courses are asynchronous which means most students are not required to login at a specific time or place for live instruction. While students will have the ability to work at a pace that is personalized to their needs, students are expected to adhere to a weekly schedule with assignments due at various times during the week.

CVA teachers are available throughout the school day for optional, synchronous (live) instruction. In addition, teachers are available for scheduled small group, 1:1 online learning support sessions, and enrichment opportunities. Since CVA courses are asynchronous in format, students taking courses in CVA must be self-motivated, able to manage time wisely, regularly meet deadlines, and ask for assistance as needed. Students should possess basic computer skills and be comfortable using the Internet for independent learning activities, email, and the district’s learning management system.

Students who receive special education services may be required to attend synchronous meetings each day in order to receive services as outlined in their IEP.

All high school students in grades 9-12 are eligible to take courses through Chesapeake Virtual Academy. Students may select CVA courses as a part-time or full-time virtual student as outlined below:
