When it comes to K-12 education, Arkansas families have some options, but one in particular is becoming a fast favorite for students, parents, and teachers. Imagine if your child’s school was just a mouse click away. It’s a concept that’s growing across the state of Arkansas. “I was looking for an alternative to challenge my son,” said Kathryn Roset. Roset found that through the Arkansas Virtual Academy. “He learned everything, he would just soak it up,” she said. The online charter school serves grades K-12. On Wednesday, the state charter school board approved an enrollment increase for the virtual academy. Which will allow them to take a thousand more students over the course of the next few years. “The interest exceeds the number of seats available in high school,” said Scott Sides, head of Arkansas Virtual Academy.
