Who are we? 

Virtual Arkansas is not an online high school or a diploma-granting institution, rather we are a State Virtual School (SVS) that partners with local districts and programs to provide increased educational opportunities for 7-12 grade students who reside within that district, including home school students.  This allows students throughout Arkansas to have access to a wide variety of resources and course opportunities from their local school or from their homes.

Why are we here? 
 

According to Act 2325 of 2005, distance learning opportunities were employed:

Our Teachers 
Virtual Arkansas is committed to recruiting, developing, and maintaining the best practitioners in the education profession. All Virtual Arkansas teachers are Arkansas qualified and certified teachers, with over 75% holding a master's degree or higher. We provide continual job-embedded training to best facilitate instruction in our unique blended learning environment. While being highly trained is a standard with teachers at Virtual Arkansas, we take pride in the fact that our strongest emphasis is on the relationships our instructors build with students through various digital tools including Zoom. Students are able to connect with instructors to receive real-time support in their learning.

Our Courses
Virtual Arkansas offers a variety of courses that are built by Arkansas licensed teachers and subject matter experts with Arkansas frameworks as the focus. Our courses go through a rigorous design and development process and are on a cycle of review for quality.  We want to be sure that we are offering students the most up to date learning experience possible.
