MAINE VIRTUAL ACADEMY

Maine Virtual Academy is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the Maine Virtual Academy school district, located in Augusta, ME with about 390 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 15 teachers, Maine Virtual Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 26:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The curriculum is rigorous and aligned with state standards, offering a broad range of core subjects, electives, and opportunities for students to pursue their academic goals at their own pace.

The school is designed to meet the needs of a diverse student population, including those who may struggle in a traditional classroom setting, athletes, performers, or students who simply thrive in a self-directed environment.
