Local kids commute from breakfast table to their computers for first day of school

Who needs carpools or bus stops when going back to school means simply turning on the home computer? On September 1, Roseville area students start their first day of school at California Virtual Academy@Sutter, a full-time, online public charter school for students in grades K-12.

Their school day starts with logging onto web-based lessons using K¹² online curriculum from home, and also includes age-appropriate instructional materials – books, videos, CDs and other hands-on tools and resources – all of which are shipped directly to each student’s home. Students and parents regularly interact throughout the school year with their California-credentialed teachers via email, online classrooms, online discussions, phone, and face-to-face meetings.

One of the most unique aspects of California Virtual Academy@Sutter is the ability to tailor the classroom experience. Teachers work with families to create an individualized learning plan for each student. Students succeed by using innovative technology, combined with a strong partnership between families and teachers.

Families interested in learning more about online public school are invited to two events, one for K-8 and one for high school:

Back to School High School Hang Out on August 31 at 11am at Galleria Roseville Mall Food Court (1151 Galleria Boulevard).
