Philosophy/Belief Statement:

International Virtual Learning Academy (IVLA) is a year-round, grades 3-12 diploma-granting Online Private School. IVLA faculty are highly qualified instructors who meet the California State requirements for private school faculty. It was created for students and families who would need additional academic assistance for an individual course, or for all the student's courses.

IVLA allows students to set their own pace and schedule. It's a win-win for both students and parents because this flexible school schedule now allows more time for family, employment, volunteer service, sports and social activities, which in turn, helps them to excel, both academically and socially.

There are even more benefits to this technological approach to learning:
• Students, parents, and faculty interact more closely to achieve learning objectives.
• The self-discipline acquired by working independently, will translate into success through college and career.
Students become life-long learners, self-motivated thinkers and informed citizens.

School History: “In today's ever-changing world, it was only a matter of time, when education, as we know it, would be enriched through technological advancement.” And so, … International Virtual Learning Academy was born!
