Washington Virtual Academy Omak Elementary

Washington Virtual Academy (WAVA) Omak Elementary is a state-funded, tuition-free online public charter school serving students across Washington state. Operating as a partnership between the Omak School District and K12 (now Stride, Inc.), the school provides a remote learning environment designed for families who prefer an alternative to the traditional brick-and-mortar classroom. While its administrative offices are located on Bartlett Avenue in Omak, the school’s curriculum is delivered primarily through a digital platform, allowing students to complete their coursework from home with the support of state-certified teachers.

The program emphasizes a structured, personalized approach to education, utilizing the K12 curriculum to provide core subjects like English, math, science, and history, along with various electives. A key component of the WAVA model is the "Learning Coach"—usually a parent or guardian—who works alongside the student to manage their daily progress, keep them on task, and communicate with teachers. By blending independent digital study with live, synchronous virtual sessions, the school aims to offer a flexible academic experience that caters to students who need a different pace of learning or a non-traditional school setting.
