St. James students attend Virginia Virtual Academy, it is the online public school for the state of Virginia. The students can work ahead, but there is no way they could be done with an entire years work in 3 months. It is possible to work ahead, but they have a lot of work to complete, so unless they are spending every minute of free time doing school work, they can maybe be ahead by a few days, max of a week. Also, the teachers do not have all of the work posted that far in advance and SJA students are required to attend live teaching sessions or watch the recorded sessions.

Gillion and Bethel use Acellus, there are no live teaching sessions so I do believe they could potentially be months ahead. But remember, they are training during the day as well. So in an 8 hour day, they only have 3-4 hours of dedicated school time.[/quote]

They have a team of people that monitors progress - so if kids are leaping ahead or falling behind, they will address the issue. Also parents get weekly progress reports. I don't love tech for education - doing work online is seriously subpar but the St James itself seems like a good opportunity. It can't be any worse than some of the FCPS schools![/quote]
