Christian Distance Learning

Founded in partnership with the Academy of Charter Schools (ACS), the Colorado Virtual Academy (COVA) is a public charter school that blends innovative new instructional technology with a traditional curriculum for elementary-, middle-, and high-school students all across Colorado.

There are many benefits to our unique learning model, including a rigorous and comprehensive curriculum based on the Core Knowledge sequence, the flexibility of learning anytime and anywhere, the support of qualified professional educators, the credibility of being a public charter school in the state of Colorado, and an individualized and self-paced learning program that adapts to your child's unique needs.

COVA is committed to putting a top-quality education within reach of thousands of students in Colorado. We hope you are as excited as we are about this innovative adventure in learning.

Colorado Virtual Academy is a public school chartered with Adams 12 Five Star Schools.

It is the goal of COVA to provide students with an excellent education, grounded in high academic standards, that will help them achieve their full academic and social potential. The school is an example of how parents, students, and teachers can work together in a partnership that is focused on high standards and achievement.

COVA is not only about lessons. School outings to museums, roller- and ice-skating parks, local zoos, academic workshops, student clubs in middle school and high school, and other interesting and enjoyable sites bring families together and create real connections within the COVA community.

As a virtual public charter school, the Colorado Virtual Academy (COVA) makes it easy for you to get actively involved in your children's education. Under the guidance of teachers, parents help children learn at home using comprehensive educational materials provided by COVA in conjunction with K12 Inc., our school's curriculum supplier. Teachers manage the learning process and ensure that students achieve mastery of learning objectives. They also provide instruction, guidance, and support, focusing on their individual needs. Because COVA is a public charter school, there is no tuition.
