Wisconsin Virtual Academy K-8 (WIVA)

Wisconsin Virtual Academy (WIVA) is a tuition-free, online public charter school that serves students in grades K-8 across the state of Wisconsin. Operated in partnership with Stride K12, the school offers a flexible, individualized learning environment that allows students to complete their coursework from home. The curriculum is delivered by state-certified teachers who provide academic instruction and support through virtual classrooms, ensuring students have access to a structured education while maintaining the convenience of a remote learning model.

The school emphasizes a collaborative partnership between teachers, students, and "Learning Coaches"—typically a parent or guardian—who supervise daily progress at home. By utilizing a comprehensive digital platform, WIVA aims to provide a rigorous academic experience tailored to the needs of students who may require more flexibility than a traditional brick-and-mortar setting offers, or for those who thrive in an independent, technology-driven environment. As a public school, it adheres to Wisconsin state academic standards while fostering a community through virtual extracurricular activities and periodic in-person school events.
