SARASOTA VIRTUAL ACADEMY (VIRTUAL FRANCHISE)

Sarasota Virtual Academy (SVA) is a tuition-free, online public school program operated by the Sarasota County School District. Designed to offer flexibility for students who thrive in a non-traditional learning environment, the academy provides a comprehensive K-12 curriculum that allows students to complete their coursework asynchronously. By utilizing a virtual platform, the school serves a diverse range of learners, including those seeking advanced academic acceleration, students with medical needs, student-athletes, and those who simply prefer the convenience of home-based education.

While the program operates primarily in a digital space, it remains fully integrated into the Sarasota County school system, ensuring that students have access to Florida-certified teachers, academic counselors, and district resources. Students enrolled in SVA maintain the ability to participate in district-wide extracurricular activities and athletics at their zoned schools. By combining the independence of self-paced learning with the support of a formal school district, Sarasota Virtual Academy provides a structured yet customizable alternative to the traditional brick-and-mortar classroom experience.
