Elementary School

Building a Strong Foundation

The early years are a time for children to explore and discover their world and learn the basics in school. But the basics must add up to something more than just a beginning—they should become part of a strong academic foundation for future learning. The Ohio Virtual Academy (OHVA) elementary school program provides just that.

We’re excited to partner with you to ensure a successful learning experience for your child. Your child’s teacher will be right by your side, guiding you both throughout the school year. And you’ll find a variety of resources on this website to help get your school year off to a strong start.
