What People Are Saying
ARVA was a godsend for our family. Our daughter had been struggling for years in the local public schools; … She has made a shocking turn around! … We couldn’t be more proud! And we couldn’t have done it without ARVA. The staff and teachers were so willing to give the extra time and attention where needed, and they were encouraging. This platform was exactly what we needed when we needed it. We love you, ARVA!

I am so excited and am looking forward to my daughter attending ARVA next year. ARVA happened to be a great fit. She will finally be challenged.

My career pathway teacher really wants us to get hands-on experience and be able to see ourselves in a leadership role so we are best prepared ahead of graduation.

I’ve been going to ARVA since kindergarten. The teachers are super helpful … I can always call them, and they’ll help me out.

What I like about ARVA is the teachers. They are more understanding and caring, and it’s a really good environment.

This is the best school ever. The staff and teachers are amazing, and the online lessons and Class Connects are easy to manage and follow. The overall curriculum and learning is a 10 out of 10. I would recommend Arkansas Virtual Academy in a heartbeat.

The teachers are so helpful in answering any questions you have … . If your child is struggling in a brick-and-mortar school, dealing with bullying, or any other situation you don’t feel is being handled well, I highly suggest you give ARVA a try!

As a chapter officer of the first virtual FCCLA in the nation, I enjoy being able to work with other ARVA student officers to help people and give back to the community.
