LSVA is designed to meet your child where he or she is academically, right now.
Lone Star Virtual Academy serves all students who are seeking learning options outside of a traditional classroom. Their reasons vary. Some are pursuing a passion that requires extensive travel or long hours of practice such as athletes and performers. Others have extenuating circumstances such as being victims of bullying or having medical issues that make attending a traditional school impossible. And still others, such as children of those who are serving our country, may benefit from the flexibility and continuity LSVA offers.
Our learning activities and math pathways are geared towards career and college readiness so students are ready for their next challenge upon graduation. Our student engagement team actively participates in one-on-one work with our students to boost student interest. With the team’s input, the curriculum is tweaked to meet specific needs and give students a voice in the manner in which they learn best.
You can be you: know your strengths and leverage your interests. We encourage the individuality of every student. We provide personal learning paths designed to enhance your strengths and support your accomplishment of goals. Our program is designed asynchronously so you can school on a daily schedule that fits your needs. We provide teacher support via feedback, live lessons, small group sessions, email, text and phone.
Get the time and attention you need to succeed. We provide students with the opportunity to get foundational skills in their chosen field. We tie education and learning objectives to practical application. Personal learning plans help students understand the importance of what they are currently doing and how it ties into their future goals.
Let’s discover a world of work that’s right for you. We strive to create a school environment with social interactions and synchronous support while also valuing the needs of the individual. You are important and our team takes the time to get to know you, listen to you, and support you on your educational journey.
Our live instruction is 100% online-based, allowing for greater flexibility and mobility for our students and teachers.
Attendance will be taken each day and students are required to login for a total of 240 minutes each day to avoid being counted absent.
Students that reach 10 unexcused absences are at risk for being withdrawn.
None! LSVA is a tuition-free, public school program.
LSVA is a high-quality education that is future-focused, preparing students for college and their careers. We focus on personalized learning that is geared toward the individual needs of our students. Our 6th through 12th grade virtual classrooms provide flexibility and opportunity to learn from Texas-certified teachers. Traditional brick-and-mortar schools simply don’t work for every student all the time. Lone Star Virtual Academy provides a strong alternative that supports your student on their time and in their way. Higher education online offerings are a mainstay for colleges and universities. In fact, 30% of higher education classes are now online. Additionally, technology-based careers are growing at an exponential pace.
Like many traditional brick-and-mortar schools, most online schools are “one size fits all.” That is why we built our school to be unique and individualized! We know that each student is unique and needs personalized attention to be successful. We built a Texas virtual school with a commitment to delivering a customized educational experience to each and every student.
Throughout the school year, students and families will be invited to attend local and virtual outings in various places around the state. This is a great opportunity for our students and families to meet other families and connect with one another. In addition, LSVA has statewide clubs including robotics, dance, pen pal, make up, and travel.
