PAVCS embraces state of the art technology to enhance one-on-one learning. Its Instructional Management System allows PAVCS students, faculty, and parents to access all school resources – e-mail, instructional materials, announcements, course listings, class materials, and PAVCS discussions – in one easy-to-find and secure online location.
Blackboard is the platform PAVCS uses to provide parents with access to school announcements, community, and the online school. In order to maintain up-to-the-minute updates, PAVCS provides a PAVCS-specific e-mail address for all students.
With the Blackboard Academic Suite PAVCS has created a virtual central “school house” where students, faculty, and parents access all PAVCS resources – e-mail, instructional materials, announcements, course listings, class materials, and discussions – in one easy-to-find and secure online location.
Streamlining communications, content management and administrative practices with the Blackboard Academic Suite allows PAVCS to augment our rigorous curriculum and instruction while staying ahead of the curve technologically.
For example, PAVCS is the first institution in the world to utilize e-mail functionality through the Blackboard web site to create a ‘one-stop shop’ where every member of the PAVCS educational community can attend classes, receive school news, access educational resources, and coordinate events.

Elluminate is PAVCS’ classroom and teachers desk. The white board is the teacher’s chalkboard, bulletin board, overhead projector, and display. Elluminate is used by the teacher to instruct, conference, hold office hours for individualized help, or give students the chance to get to know each other.
Office hours are intended for use by middle school and high school parents and students. Parents or students can enter into a teacher’s Elluminate classroom during the teacher’s office hours to ask questions related to content of a subject, ask about grades, or other general matters related to the student’s education and/or procedures for participating in the PAVCS school environment.
We do request that the academic coaches be available to check over work and in general help students to remain focused while participating in a session.
