EVSC Virtual Academy Informational Meeting Planned for April 25

EVSC Now Offering Expanded Academy to Grades K-12

The Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation Virtual Academy has expanded its online curriculum offerings from high school to now offer curriculum for kindergarten through eighth grades. Enrollment is now taking place and an informational meeting is planned for Thursday, April 25 so parents can learn more.

The Information Session is from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Southern Indiana Career & Technical Center, located at 1901 Lynch Road. Anyone interested in knowing more about the EVSC Virtual Academy and its class offerings for students in grades K-12, should plan to attend.

The EVSC Virtual Academy currently is offered to students in grades 9-12, but has recently expanded into the kindergarten through eighth grade arena and will utilize Compass Learning software for students who enroll full-time and for blended instruction in EVSC’s K-8 schools. Already in place for high school students is the Apex online curriculum.

While there will be no registration or tuition fee for full-time students from both inside Vanderburgh County and outside who enroll prior to the official September enrollment date; there will be a $50 registration fee and a $50 tuition fee per month of enrollment for those enrolling after that time.

Compass Learning is an industry leader and has a long history of working with elementary and middle school curriculum and first introduced computer curriculum in the 1980s. The curriculum meets Common Core standards and will provide reports and data for students, teachers, and parents working with home school options. The high school Virtual Academy began during the summer of 2010 and has seen tremendous success rates of completion and expansion to now offer Advanced Placement courses.
