HERNDON, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–K12 Inc. is marking National
School Choice Week

the powerful role online and blended learning continues to make in the
lives of students from coast to coast.

“Attending North
Carolina Virtual Academy
(NCVA) has empowered my son to fulfill his
passion to become an anti-bullying advocate for other kids,” said Diana
Santos mother of 11-year-old child
author Brenden Santos
.

“Brenden experienced debilitating physical and emotional bullying at his
brick and mortar school. NCVA’s online classroom provided Brenden with a
sense of safety and meaningful friendships, not to mention the ability
to thrive academically. ”

Wyoming

(WYVA) 11th grader Grace Belize Anderson,
named to the prestigious 2017 United
States Senate Youth Program

reason.

“I’ve logged more than 450 community service hours volunteering for
various causes including Wyoming’s Family, Career, and Community Leaders
of America (FCCLA),” said Grace. “WYVA’s personalized learning model
instilled in me a profound sense of confidence that has allowed me to
take on leadership roles in community service projects I am passionate
about.”
