CVA is a statewide K-12, public education program that supports parents as the first and most important educators of their children, who have the fundamental right and duty to make educational decisions for them. Parents and guardians can choose from among many options to ensure their children receive a quality education. By choosing CVA, they can customize an education that is right for their child, all with the guidance, resources and support of CVA. Unlike districts that contract with private companies, CVA is a partnership of Washington State public school districts.
Through CVA, families are able to enjoy the benefits of being highly involved in their child’s learning while accessing the resources made available to all public school students in the state.
CVA is a fully accredited program and all courses available through CVA are aligned to state curriculum standards.
