94 Percent of Oklahoma Virtual Charter Academy Students Benefitted Academically in 2015-2016
— Students return to online public school August 16th—
MIDWEST CITY, Okla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Students at Oklahoma
Virtual Charter Academy (OVCA), an accredited, full-time,
online public charter school, will begin their 2016-2017 school year on
August 16 as the program marks its sixth year of operation in the state.
According to a spring 2016 survey conducted by Edge Research, 94 percent
of the families with students enrolled in the school during the
2015-2016 school year felt that their child had benefitted academically
from the curriculum.
OVCA is open to all students in grades K through 12 who reside in
Oklahoma. The rigorous and engaging curriculum offered by the school
includes courses in language arts/English, math, science, history, world
languages, art and music, as well as elective and Advanced Placement®
courses for high school students. State-certified teachers provide
instruction, guidance and support, and regularly interact with students
and parents via email, web-based classrooms, online discussions, phone
and face-to-face meetings. As a public school option, there is no
tuition.
“Our goal is to help our students become highly competitive when
applying to college or entering the workforce,” said Sheryl Tatum, head
of school of Oklahoma Virtual Charter Academy. “We provide them with the
support they need to achieve a high level of success no matter their
plans after high school.”
At OVCA, advanced learners have the ability to progress faster in
subjects at which they excel, while students who need more time to grasp
a concept get that opportunity. The school’s robust gifted and talented
program challenges advanced learners, while the broad range of
profession-focused courses provides students with a competitive edge.
Earlier this summer, OVCA challenged enrolled families to prevent summer
‘brain drain’ by offering students free access to LearnBop,
a self-paced solution that simulates a one-on-one, personalized math
tutoring experience. The award-winning online program will continue to
be available free of charge throughout the fall and can be used
alongside the regular math curriculum to build math skills or prepare
for high-level exams.
OVCA is still accepting enrollments for this fall. To learn more about
