The K12 Florida LLC virtual instruction program (VIP) courses promote strong academics along with positive online school experience.  It is a mastery-based, including hands-on opportunities away from the computer.  Students are expected to spend about 3-6 hours per day (depending on grade level) working on and offline to master standards and curriculum.  They will work with a Clay County District School Clay Virtual Academy (CVA) teacher, which will assess and teach lessons to ensure mastery.  
Though the K12 Florida LLC provides Kindergarten through 12th-grade curriculum, CVA plans on solely utilizing the elementary curriculum for our elementary students.
Not only does K12 Florida LLC offer rigorous, visually stimulating appropriate online curriculum, they also offer many offline materials, books, science kits, and workbooks for students to use offline as well.

PLEASE NOTE:  A medium school district such as CCDS is required to have a minimum of 3 virtual instruction offerings.

At this time CVA does not currently have contract/agreement to use elementary virtual curriculum for the 2019-2020 school year.  Our previous contract with Pearsons Connections Learning has expired and we have decided not to continue pursuing this online curriculum for our CCDS students.  Some content of the current elementary virtual curriculum had to be created and constantly updated by CVA teachers.  This is not efficient as we do not have a curriculum team to keep up with the demand for updating websites and content.  With using K12 Florida LLC their professional curriculum department will keep up with updates and revisions on a regular basis. 

Our previous contract with Pearsons Connections Learning has expired and some content of the current elementary virtual curriculum had to be created and constantly updated by CVA teachers. 

Elementary students will be exposed to rigorous, engaging, appropriate online curriculum to meet the state standards. They will master content with the assistance of a CVA teacher.
