Thank you for your interest in HVA! Our application window is closed for the 2026-2027 school year on May 1, 2026. If you are interested in joining our waitlist please visit here.
Are you ready for a cutting-edge educational experience?
HVA offers a rigorous, engaging, and mostly synchronous virtual classroom environment designed for high achievers. We're actively seeking students who are:
- Highly Motivated: Thrive when working independently and are ready to take ownership of their learning.
- Academically Driven: Poised to excel in a challenging, university-preparatory setting.
Is HVA the perfect fit? We encourage all interested families to review our online learner reflection tool to gauge your student’s readiness for our dynamic virtual model.
The Best of Both Worlds: Virtual & Connected
While we operate virtually, the HVA experience is far from isolated! We believe in fostering a strong community through frequent, engaging in person and virtual events including field trips. Head over to our Facebook feed now to see our amazing community events and student success stories in action. Check out our Facebook feed to see these events in action. High school students may participate in ACE Center courses on alternating days as well as VHSL activities at zoned schools.
Applications are reviewed based upon student academic progress, attendance, availability of required services, and availability of courses at the secondary level.
Please note that applications from students will not be accepted as parent/guardian authorization and review is required to submit an application. Current HVA students do not need to reapply, but will need to let a school counselor know if returning in person as soon as possible to ensure courses are selected for next year by the January deadline.
