The Ohio Virtual Academy is a community school established under Chapter 3314 of the Revised Code. From their publicity material: 'The Ohio Virtual Academy is a public school utilizing traditional academic content and innovative technology. OHVA offers courses to children from across Ohio in grades K-7. Grades 8-12 will be available in future years ... OHVA's unique "team teaching" approach involves a powerful partnership between parents and teachers in which children receive individual attention and a personalized course of instruction. At OHVA, students complete daily lessons delivered online via the Internet by K12. However, most student work is completed away from the computer using books, workbooks, art supplies, and manipulatives. A certified Ohio teacher provides guidance, support, accountability, and advice through this process via telephone or e-mail'.
