Duval Virtual
Instruction Academy
FAQ's
Is Virtual Education
available to everyone?
Yes, it is available to anyone in grades k-12.
If you believe that learning from home provided by
certified teachers and virtual curriculum is the type of
education you desire, then we invite you to enroll.
How do I know if virtual
education is right for me?
A successful student in virtual education is organized,
self-motivated, well supported, and possess a strong
desire to learn. The teachers serve as a
facilitator guiding the student through instruction, and
therefore, the student is held accountable for their
time and effort in the learning process.
Why should I choose virtual education?
Virtual education is a wonderful opportunity for
students who need personalized learning opportunities,
prefer to learn at home or in one on one environment,
students who have attended private schools but have been
effected by the economy, students who travel, students
with medical issues, students who are parents, students
who need to work, students who are athletes, performers,
and students who prefer to accelerate and move at a
faster pace. It is also for parents who want
to be involved in their child’s education.
What is the cost?
Free to Duval County Residents.
Who teaches the online
courses?
Our teachers are some of the best teachers in the state.
All of our teachers are highly qualified and several
hold National Board Certifications. All
teachers as well will serve as subject matter experts
and none will be considered out of field. We
believe that the teacher can make a difference in the
life of a child, and their positive relationship with
the child and parent through their educational process
will be a determining factor in their success.
What is the difference
between virtual and traditional students?
-
Calendar:
Virtual students will
follow the 2010-2011 Duval County School
Calendar. While students have day
to day flexibility, they are expected to
reach certain points in their courses by
nine weeks and semester breaks.
-
Communication: Virtual
students and parents will have immediate
access to their progress and grades.
However, virtual educators are required
to communicate with the parent to review
the child’s progress at least once a
month. As a parent, you will
notice the high touch and high value
that the teacher has for your child.
-
Curriculum: Virtual
students will follow the same Pupil
Progression Plan as traditional
students.
-
School
Hours: Virtual students
can work on their curriculum when it
fits their needs and schedule.
Flexibility in the day to day is
completely up to the student and their
parent/guardian. Students
and parents will need to make sure they
are aware of when their teachers are
available should they need one on one
assistance.
How do I enroll?
We will be holding informational meetings during the
month of May, dates and times to be determined. More
information is coming soon,
contact us
with any additional questions.
