What is Columbia Virtual Academy (CVA)?
CVA is a statewide, K-12 public education program that supports parents as the first and most important educators of their children. With CVA, parents can choose the time, the place and the curriculum that is right for their child, all with the guidance, resources, and the support of CVA. CVA is an Alternative Learning Experience (ALE) program under the legal authority of Washington Administrative Code WAC 392-121-182. Since this ALE law provides that parents may substantially participate in the education of their children, this public school option can provide for much of the learning to be done in settings alternative to those of traditional schools.
