New center to provide tailored education
sessions, onsite career preparation and programs
Arkansas Virtual Academy (ARVA), a tuition-free, online K-12
public charter school providing personalized education, opened its
new 24,450-square-foot education hub in downtown Little Rock today.
The new education center will provide space for in-person student
activities, testing and training and will serve as the school’s
statewide headquarters. The site opens as Arkansas Virtual Academy
enters its 20th year in the state and continues to grow as a school
of choice among students statewide.
"The Arkansas Virtual Academy offers students a tailored and
individualized learning journey, catering to their unique needs,
empowering them to excel," said Amy Johnson, Head of School at
Arkansas Virtual Academy. "Our new education hub will act as a
centralized platform, enhancing our mission by granting students
even greater access to educational programs that will continuously
elevate their learning experience."
The ARVA education hub will also allow space for training the
school’s more than 140 faculty members and will act as a space to
bring students for additional academic support. It will also host
student sessions focusing on career preparation and readiness
programs, which will impact the city of Little Rock and Pulaski
County as a whole.
The new building is the result of a one-year renovation at the
previous site of a furniture warehouse and showroom. Arkansas
Virtual Academy wisely utilized a portion of its one-time federal
COVID-19 relief funds to finance the project, strategically
allocating these resources for a more robust and enduring impact on
its educational offerings. Arkansas Virtual Academy is a statewide,
tuition-free public charter school powered by Stride, Inc. with
more than 4,000 students in all of Arkansas’ 75 counties.
