Parent as Learning Coach

Partners for Success

This adult can be a parent, guardian, grandparent, another relative, or a trusted family friend. The Learning Coach needs to be available throughout the entire school day to facilitate learning.

The responsibilities of the Learning Coach include creating and managing school routines, supporting and instructing their students, communicating with teachers and staff, and performing administrative duties. As a Learning Coach, your partnership with PA Virtual will be a vital component of your child’s success.

Academics

Educating for Their Future

At PA Virtual, we have three academic programs: Elementary School (K-4), Middle School (5-8), and High School (9-12). Our state-certified teachers use their experience and expertise along with our rigorous curriculum to provide students with an interactive and engaging learning experience. Students have the opportunity to take synchronous (live) and asynchronous (independent) classes in all grade levels.

 Our Family Support Coordinators serve as a regional contact for families. They organize monthly field trips and service-learning opportunities so students can socialize and connect with their classmates.
