FAQs: Middle School Program
Bridges Virtual Academy’s middle school program spans 6th-8th grade. Families work with a student’s advisory teacher to develop an Individualized Learning Plan (ILP), where curriculum and resources are tailored from our approved courses to meet the needs of each student in each subject area.
Live and asynchronous classes are taught by BVA's experienced, top-rated teachers and are designed to challenge them to go deeper in their learning and give students extra support when they need it.

What BVA Parents Are Saying...
There is a sense of support for the teachers, accountability to the parents and students, a cohesive leadership that strives to be better yet gives their staff support. There is excellence and yet not just a push for excellence in education on paper but wholistic education of the child in a unique way. The culture of BVA is one of excellence, kindness, and providing the scaffolding for students to be excellent and grow. My teachers are very supportive and kind to me and other students!
