Students at the Virtual Learning Academy would be the first to tell you that this online school is not right for everyone. At the same time, each of them found that traditional school wasn’t right for them. Each of them either dropped out of or was expelled from a traditional high school. Their reasons vary, but in the end, they didn’t feel they fit into a standard classroom. The Virtual Learning Academy is a blend of educational styles. What makes it unique is that students take their classes online. What makes the academy successful, however, has nothing to do with computers. It succeeds because the teachers know them and care about them. Students understand the Virtual Learning Academy is not going to give up on them.
