ABOUT THE SCHOOL/DEPARTMENT
Vision
We will prepare students for lifelong learning and continual growth through creative and rigorous online learning pathways and diverse learning communities.
Mission
Flexible Learning for Lifetime Success
Jeffco Virtual Academy (JVA) is a statewide online/blended option school located in Lakewood, CO serving 300+ full time students and 800+ part time students in Jefferson and surrounding counties. JVA is designated as an Alternative Education Campus by the Colorado Department of Education and as such we proudly serve a wide range of students who have a variety of needs. Students choose JVA for the smaller setting, the flexible schedule, and the strong, personalized support.
Our curriculum is asynchronously delivered to students in grades 6-12 via the Schoology and Edgenuity Learning Management Systems. We have three programs for full time students: traditional middle school, traditional high school, and Targeted Actions for Graduation (TAG). We offer a blended option for all programs. TAG students report to campus on Tuesdays, middle school students on Wednesdays, and high school students have the option to attend on Thursdays. Part time students access their classes entirely remotely and have the same online support as full time students.
JVA is a collaborative community working to help students be successful. Success for our students is different for each-from disengaged students, to gifted students, to athletes and performers. We are flexible, creative problem solvers who strive to meet the needs of all students. We work together to improve our instruction and to be sure that JVA is offering the best student experience in online learning.
