What Type of Student is a Best Fit for Virtual Learning?

Virtual learning is an important partnership between the learner, the family and the school. Virtual learning is a choice, not a requirement. Virtual learning is not necessarily a best fit for all students - and that is ok! There are a multitude of excellent learning options in our district to serve every unique student. Virtual learners in grades K - 5 must have an adult learning coach at home during all learning times. The best virtual learners have the following age-appropriate skills:

  • self-motivation

  • self-advocacy

  • good verbal and written communication

  • time-management strategies and support
