ARKANSAS VIRTUAL ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL

School Overview
Arkansas Virtual Academy (ARVA) is a tuition-free, online public charter school that serves students in grades K–12 across the state of Arkansas. By utilizing a virtual learning platform, the school offers a flexible educational environment that allows students to complete their coursework from home while remaining connected to certified teachers and a structured curriculum. The program is designed to accommodate a diverse range of learners, including those who need a more personalized pace, students with scheduling conflicts, or those seeking an alternative to the traditional brick-and-mortar classroom setting.

As part of the Stride K12 network, the high school curriculum focuses on preparing students for life after graduation through a blend of core academic subjects, elective courses, and college and career readiness opportunities. While the instruction is delivered remotely, the school maintains a formal administrative presence in North Little Rock and emphasizes regular communication between students, parents, and faculty. Through its digital infrastructure, ARVA aims to provide an accessible, high-quality public education that meets state standards while fostering independence and digital literacy in its student body.
