Core Values

The Virtual School is a college-preparatory high school for grades 9-12. The school is focused on academic progression and mentorship.  With small class sizes, teachers are able to personalize instruction and get to know the learning strengths and weaknesses of each student. The mentorship program fosters a strong student-teacher relationship that creates space for the student to reflect on their academic progress and personal development.

The value of AP coursework is well recognized for academically motivated students and our faculty work to facilitate students on this track in two ways. World Class Academy offers AP courses in the mathematics and science departments. These courses are aimed at driven students who are self-motivated and inspired by a challenge. AP testing occurs in late May at the WCA office. For specific questions about coursework, AP classes, testing, counseling or to speak with the parent of a student who has successfully pursued AP coursework at WCA in the past, please contact us.

Following acceptance, a family can confirm enrollment by submitting the tuition deposit and returning signed copies of WCA's required paperwork, including the financial commitment form, medical form, liability release, honor contract and a transcript from the student's former school. 

One of the main goals of WCA is to reinforce integrity by providing learning experiences that help young people develop in character while they grow as a student and person. The relationships students develop as they navigate unfamiliar environments and push past their own social and intellectual limits provide support for their growth.

With their mentors, students are encouraged to reflect regularly on their growth as students and human beings. 

Mentoring and the development of life skills happen on many levels at WCA. Through these processes, students develop an understanding of themselves, their place in the community, and their capacity to continue growing and learning.
