The students of Louisiana Virtual Charter Academy (LAVCA), an
online public school serving students grades K-12 throughout the
state since 2011, will soon move forward to begin the rest of their
lives. LAVCA will celebrate its graduates in person with a
commencement ceremony on May 15 at 11AM. The virtual ceremony will
take place on May 19 at 10AM. RSVP for the virtual ceremony
here.
“As parents and educators, we often worry if we made the right
decisions for our kids' academics. But, with days like graduation,
when we are celebrating the accomplishments of our students, we
know that our students are thriving,” said Louisiana Virtual
Charter Academy Head of School Danielle Scott. “We’re so happy they
made it to this point and look forward to seeing what they do
next.”
Collectively, the LAVCA’s class of 2023 – which includes more
than 100 graduates and approximately 40 students who will graduate
with a cumulative GPA above 3.5 – reports it has been accepted to
trade schools, colleges, and universities across the country as
well as several branches of the military. Many students are also
headed straight into the workforce or continue at positions that
they have held throughout high school. Collectively, the Class of
2023 reports having been awarded nearly $614,380 worth of college
scholarships.
Jonathan Smith is LAVCA’s 2023 valedictorian and plans to attend
Louisiana State University – Rodger Hadfield Ogden Honors College
to get his bachelor’s degree in mathematics after graduation.
Rachel McCullin is the class salutatorian and will attend Louisiana
State University to pursue a degree in biological studies.
Louisiana Virtual Charter Academy’s graduates have crossed the
finish line of graduation and are prepared for their next adventure
in life.
Prior to the pandemic, students enrolled in virtual school for a
number of reasons—some were looking to escape bullying, some may
have fallen academically off track, and others were looking for an
alternative to the traditional classroom setting.
LAVCA’s students access a robust online curriculum in the core
subjects and a host of electives and attend live virtual classes
taught by state-certified teachers. LAVCA offers a blend of
learning elements to accommodate multiple learning styles and
maximize both the quality of the lesson and the way it is
delivered.
Louisiana Virtual Academy invites all families and friends
worldwide to join the celebration. Details of the graduation
ceremonies are as follows:
