The SJSD Virtual Academy offers various opportunities for students to interact socially, including Fun Fridays, a number of extra curricular clubs, virtual field trips, and interactive events in which students may opt to participate.

All students and courses will begin and end in alignment with the published academic calendar. Teachers will post weekly expectations for students, as well as assignments, to keep students on pace with completing the course by the end of the semester or year.

The amount of time students will spend on their computers each day will vary depending on the student’s grade level and the course.

Students are required to be current on the immunizations required for enrollment in their local school district.

The SJSD Virtual Academy provides accommodations according to a student’s IEP or 504 plan, but does not manage or oversee IEPs or 504 Plans for students outside the St. Joseph School District.

Prices for courses are based on the grade level of the student. Elementary courses are $2000 for all grade level courses and content; elementary students who wish to take fewer than a full-time enrollment may enroll in courses for $300 per course, per year. Students in grades 6 through 12 are charged by course, at $300 per course, per semester.

It is the responsibility of the student’s local school district to verify that the student is enrolled in the correct courses to meet the local school district’s graduation requirements.
