New, In-Person Social Opportunities for Students

We’re excited to introduce Strider Squads at Arkansas Virtual Academy!
Strider Squads are small groups of 5–15 ARVA students—matched by age, interests, and hobbies—who meet for fun, in-person events right in their local areas. It’s a fantastic way for students to make friends and learn.
Imagine your child finding their place, connecting with others, and joining exciting events where they feel truly seen, valued, and inspired to shine. That’s the magic of Strider Squads!

Help Students Shine: Become a Squad Leader
We need enthusiastic Learning Coaches to guide these groups as Squad Leaders. If you enjoy helping students succeed and have a knack for hosting in-person events, we’d love to have you on the team!
