Serving Elementary School, Middle School, and High School Students in Washington State

CVA offers a highly flexible and personalized K-12 program to meet diverse family learning needs. A parent or high school student with parental guidance can take more or less control of the curriculum through various curricular options including online courses or more traditional book learning. Our intent is to listen to your needs and to design a program to match them.

Any student in any Washington school district may enroll in CVA tuition-free. Columbia Virtual Academy offers the only totally public and shared program in Washington State. Contact us to apply today!

CVA Getting the Word Out

The staff at Columbia Virtual Academy (CVA) would like to send a special thanks to the parents, students and prospective families for attending the Parent Orientations across the state of Washington.

“It was a great opportunity to meet and make a personal connection with our new and returning families,” said CVA-Valley Principal, Dave Vail.

There were thirteen informational sessions across the state from Aug. 2^nd to 4^th with 710 attendees.

“This was a tremendous shot in the arm for CVA families as we amp up for the coming year,” said CVA Chief Learning Officer Keith Lambert, Ph.D. “The orientations included how, in light of the recent changes to alternative learning rules, CVA is committed to providing an excellent standard of education.”
