Is Virtual School a Good Fit for Your Student?

Manhattan Virtual Academy can be a great choice for students who are ready to take an active role in their learning and thrive in an online environment.

Attendance & Engagement Matter

Just like in a traditional school, students at MVA are required to attend school full time. Attendance is measured by consistent participation and progress, including:

  • Attending live online classes (vClasses)
  • Making steady progress in coursework
  • Completing assignments on time and staying on pace
  • Spending regular, focused time engaged in online learning

Skills That Support Success in Virtual Learning

Students tend to be most successful in virtual school when they:

  • Can manage their time and meet deadlines
  • Are motivated and able to work independently
  • Feel comfortable asking teachers for help or clarification
  • Communicate clearly with teachers and classmates
  • Take responsibility for their learning
  • Have strong family support, including routines and expectations at home

When these skills and supports are in place, students are more likely to feel confident, supported, and successful in a virtual learning environment.
