Online summer school through BVA

Online summer school through Brandywine Virtual Academy (BVA) is a perfect opportunity for students to explore new electives whenever and wherever they choose during the summer months. BVA offers a wide selection of appealing electives to satisfy students’ interests, curiosity and thirst for knowledge. From Gothic Literature: Monster Stories to 3D Art to Veterinary Science: The Care of Animals – there is something to engage every student.

Registration will open on April 3, 2017 at www.bvapa. org/summer and will feature three session options: Jump Start (April 17-July 27), True Summer (May 30-July 27) and Credit Recovery (May 30-July 27).

For many students, summer is the best time to explore new things– an honors or Advanced Placement (AP) course for example.

“Summertime is an excellent opportunity for students to continue to progress in their education,” said Chip Harper, supervisor of online learning for the Chester County Intermediate Unit (CCIU), which operates BVA. “Whether it’s students recovering credits, getting ahead for the next school year or taking courses they couldn’t fit into their schedules but always wanted to take, BVA supplies the teachers and the program to meet their needs.”

Since its creation, a growing number of students from Chester County and beyond have taken advantage of BVA’s diverse course levels and offerings, flexible scheduling and unique supports. Approximately 1,600 students are enrolled in BVA annually, taking courses ranging from Mandarin Chinese to Advanced Placement (AP) physics, and everywhere in between.

Flexibility is one of the greatest advantages of summer school online. There is no need for students to be confined to a classroom, miss out on a week of class due to a family vacation or have to choose between class and summer employment. Students can access courses 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all with the unique supports that ensure student success. In addition to subject matter teachers, students have access to BVA student support liaisons and technology support specialists. Students can also access recorded live lessons and connect with their teachers and technology staff through BVA’s Interactive Virtual Office.

All BVA courses are developed and taught by Pennsylvania-certified teachers.
