Why LAVCA?

Benefits of Online Schooling with LVCA

While the benefits of a personalized education experience will be different for each student, some of the main advantages LAVCA families enjoy are as follows:

• Public school at home empowers families to control their school environment.
• Students work at their own pace, adjusting the amount of time they spend on topics based on their rate of understanding.
• Online school allows families to balance learning with other commitments such as work, extracurricular activities, or family responsibilities.
• Learning online helps students expand their understanding as students from various backgrounds come together in virtual classrooms to exchange ideas and perspectives.
• Online learning hones digital literacy skills, a crucial competence in the modern workforce.

LAVCA at a Glance

Louisiana Virtual Charter Academy (LAVCA) is available to Louisiana students in grades K–12 through an agreement between Stride, Inc. and Community School for Apprenticeship Learning Inc. (CSAL). Founded in 1997, CSAL is a not-for-profit with a mission to provide students with real-world experiences by giving them access to alternative forms of instruction. Since its inception, CSAL has operated a small middle school and high school centered on individualized attention, integrated project-based instruction, and motivating students to do their best. LAVCA is its third charter school.

At LAVCA, your child can learn in the ways that are right for them—at home, on the road, or wherever there’s an internet connection.
