[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did VAVA/K12 for 6th and 7th grade, partly because of the pandemic but also because FCPS just wasn't working for us.  The quality of the education is good.  My kids (who had been in FCPS AAP) were very behind in English in terms of grammar, punctuation, and composition, and VAVA addressed all of this and taught them to write well.  The math instruction also is excellent.

It is a bit of a slog.  It's a lot of work, which is fine, but there really isn't as much flexibility as we needed.  But the biggest things for us were the daily assessments and the temporary zeroes that showed up if work was not completed on time (even if for an excused reason, like missing school for an illness or a tournament); this caused a lot of stress, even though both kids knew the zeroes weren't permanent until a later date.

It also was isolating, even though one of mine is in a sport where online school is common.

We switched to a co-op for 8th grade last year, which was not as structured as we needed, and a hybrid school for high school.[/quote]

I am interested in researching hybrid high school options for my teen.  Would you mind sharing the name of the school?  I couldn't find any in the area, other than co-op tutorials.  TIA[/quote]
