Who Chooses WIVA

- Improve a child's academic prospects
- Deliver a consistent experience
- Maintain an environment in line with family ethics and values
- Cater to unique lifestyle needs
- Transition from homeschooling to public e-schooling
- Transition from traditional "brick and mortar" schooling to public e-schooling
Find a great academic alternative to traditional public and private schools.
"My 7th grader knew that it was difficult for her to learn in a classroom setting. Through the years, watching her come home frustrated because she couldn't pick things up quickly like the other children broke my heart. Finally I had to make the best decision for her, and learning about the ground-breaking Wisconsin Virtual Academy couldn't have come at a better, much-needed time. Math, which was the subject she disliked the most, is now her favorite subject. Thanks to WIVA; the future is endless." – Shannon Young, Silver Lake, WI; parent of WIVA 7th grade student
Have your child learn in a nurturing, supportive environment.
"Studies have found that on average a child receives 6 hours of individual attention in their schooling from K through high school. What an appalling figure! In four and a half months in WIVA my children have been given 410 hours of one-on-one attention! My children no longer suffer from headaches from listening to a teacher constantly screaming because the behavior of other children in the classroom is so out of control. We have wonderful teachers who help us solve any difficulties we are having. We have a wonderful curriculum. As a parent concerned with the state of education in our country, I love knowing that my children will get what they need to carry them into the future!" – Jenny Lecato, Grafton, WI; parent of WIVA 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade students
Satisfy unique lifestyle and health needs.
My husband works second shift and many times 7 days a week. If the boys weren't in WIVA they would go days in a row without seeing their dad. My children no longer have to spend two hours a day on a school bus. The quality of the education that my boys are getting is far better than any "brick & mortar" education that they received in the past, and we live in a very good school district." – Elizabeth Everett, Hixton, WI; parent of WIVA 4th and 7th grade students
Make the move from traditional homeschooling to public e-schooling.
"As a parent who is also a certified teacher, I felt compelled to homeschool my children. I used different curricula for the first two years. When investigating WIVA and the K12 curriculum, I realized it was second to none with regard to content. I believe firmly in the student/teacher ratio and am convinced that this is the best education available for my children." – Jennifer Schmitt, Oregon, WI; parent of WIVA 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade students
