Engaging online learning
At BVA, we customize and enhance our programs to meet and exceed the Pennsylvania Core Standards. BVA provides elementary school students with frequent live instruction to support their need for more immediate attention and feedback in learning. Students learn together four days a week in their core subjects. Students requiring additional academic support in reading or math may have additional live classes with teachers or specialists.
Morning
To lay the groundwork for daily success, students meet with their teachers for a morning meeting to check in and to plan their day before starting their lessons.
Students Participate in a Program Model that meets their needs
To meet the needs of all families, our K-8 has two program models to choose from:
- Synchronous Instruction provides our K-8 students with frequent live instruction to support their need for more immediate attention and feedback in learning. Within the elementary and middle school program, students learn together 4 days per week in their core subjects. Students requiring additional academic support in reading or math may have additional live classes with teachers or specialists.
- Asynchronous Instruction provides our K-8 students with flexibility and autonomy to learn at their own pace in the online courses with teacher support available as needed.
Afternoon
After lunch and recess, students learn synchronously or asynchronously and can receive support using BVA’s W.I.N. model! What I Need (WIN) is a time for students and families to receive help on classwork from their teachers in the grade-level virtual classroom. These sessions occur on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays: 1:00-2:45 p.m., and Wednesdays: 1:30 – 3:15 p.m.
