CAVA ( California Virtual Academy )

California Virtual Academies (CAVA) are full-time online public schools offering high-quality education to TK–12 students. We ensure every student can engage, connect, and grow through a learning experience that meets their individual needs. All 9 Independent California Virtual Academies Are Fully Accredited. The Accrediting Commission for Schools (ACS) of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) fully accredits all nine California Virtual Academies for grades K–12.

The ACS uses the highest performance standards and research-based criteria when identifying schools or districts that provide an exemplary education to their students. California Virtual Academies are recognized for offering a highly regarded, high-quality education to all students in grades K–12. Through ongoing assessments, the schools agree to continually meet the expectations and criteria set forth by the ACS and WASC and exhibit self-improvement on an ongoing basis.

Administrators and families trust the mission of our schools to provide an education grounded in high academic standards so all children can achieve their full academic potential. We take this mission seriously, and it is an honor to be recognized by ACS and WASC.

California Virtual Academies’ core philosophy is that all young people can achieve academic excellence when given access to rigorous instruction, informed guidance, and individual attention. Using this philosophy, we will continue demonstrating our commitment to quality education. As a WASC-accredited charter school, we want to set an example as a valued curriculum and education provider offering an exceptional educational experience for thousands of students across the state.
