We understand your concerns about screen time during a child’s formative years. Our students do use technology that’s been provided by the school, but we also give our students plenty of breaks each day. Additionally, our teachers provide assignments that involve hands-on coursework. This could be anything from a science experiment to a workbook page.

When your child goes to a physical school, you have to account for busing time each day as well as homework time. PA Virtual provides a quicker and easier schedule for children. This can be especially helpful if your child works an after-school job or plays sports.
Our model requires that a parent/learning coach is there with the student at home. If you’re worried about your son or daughter being able to stick to deadlines with their schoolwork, that isn’t a problem. We give parents everything they need to help manage the academic schedule.
