Typical Student Day

“Both of my kids have been attending Global Virtual Academy for two years and it has gone really well. The teachers are very responsive.”

 – Parent of Student-Athlete

Every Student’s Journey Looks a Little Different—And That’s the Point.

At Global Virtual Academy, our students aren’t just “fitting school in”—they’re thriving on a schedule that works with their goals, not against them. Whether your child is training at an elite level, exploring career passions, volunteering, or aiming for college scholarships, we build education around their lifestyle—not the other way around.

With flexible pacing, live classes, academic coaching, and in-person support through our Academic Centers for Excellence (ACE Centers), our families enjoy a boutique education experience that fits seamlessly into their busy lives.

Although our students typically tend to their courses Monday through Friday as needed, we’ve included shortened 3 day sample schedules to show how real GVA students are reaching their goals. Names have been changed for privacy—but the success is real.
