About Our School

We partner with families to help each child learn in the way that works best for them, offering plenty of opportunities to make friends and grow along the way.

Read Our Mission Statement.

The curriculum at Arkansas Virtual Academy is fully accredited by Cognia, a nationally recognized accrediting body, ensuring students receive a well-rounded education recognized in Arkansas and across the country.

Licensed by the Arkansas State Board of Education, ARVA teachers tailor the high-quality curriculum and tools provided by our online learning platform, K12, to connect with each student.

Amy Johnson has served as the executive director of ARVA since 2003.

Arkansas Virtual Academy uses the K12 online learning platform, tailoring its high-quality curriculum and extensive resources to meet our students’ unique needs here in Arkansas.

Learn more about K12

Each school day, students at ARVA attend live virtual lessons led by Arkansas-specific teachers by accessing the K12 online learning platform on their computers.

Just like our brick-and-mortar public school counterparts, there is no tuition for students to attend our online public school. However, unlike those public schools with physical addresses, students at Arkansas Virtual Academy learn from the comfort and safety of their own homes.

At ARVA, families stay involved in their child’s education, but they don’t have to create a curriculum, plan lessons, or teach — all of which are required of families who choose to homeschool. 

As a parent (or relative, sibling, or legal guardian), your role in your child’s education is that of a Learning Coach. In this role, you offer academic guidance to meet your student’s unique needs, while consistently staying in touch and working with teachers to help your child succeed. Find out how you can support your child’s online education as their Learning Coach.
