What does PCVA look like for an elementary school student?
The Elementary Program at PCVA offers a personalized learning approach tailored to elementary school students and their academic needs. At PCVA, we believe that every student is unique and should have the opportunity to learn anywhere, anytime, and at a pace that works best for their individual learning needs. Our experienced teachers who are certified in early childhood and elementary education are committed to forming positive relationships with students and guardians. They work closely with families to establish these connections that we believe provide the foundation for success in education. This is a great option for parents who desire a quality virtual education utilizing proven curriculum, certified teachers, and expert instructional support systems. While students have the opportunity to work with a live teacher each day, it does require strong, day-to-day parental guidance and involvement.
