AUGUSTA, Maine--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Students and teachers at Maine Virtual Academy (MEVA), an online public charter school authorized by the Maine Charter School Commission and available to students statewide in grades 7-12, will start the 2017-2018 school year on Aug. 28th.
The virtual school offers a personalized approach to learning that ensures every student receives an excellent education. MEVA’s online platform gives students the flexibility to pursue their academic goals at a pace that is appropriate for them. Advanced learners can progress quickly, while those who find concepts more challenging can take the extra time they need.
“Students enroll in MEVA for a variety of reasons,” says Head of School Dr. Melinda Browne. “With online learning we’re able to offer a personalized experience to meet each student’s needs.”
Students take classes in the core subjects of math, science, language arts, history, art and music. High school students have access to electives, world languages, honors and AP® courses, and middle school students can choose to begin a world language before high school.
Maine-certified teachers facilitate live, interactive online classes, and are also available to students by phone and email. Lesson plans for each subject are integrated throughout the school year, so students can apply what they are learning in one class to the lessons they encounter in another.
Students become adept at using technology for their course work, projects and time management, and have the opportunity throughout the year to meet their teachers and classmates in person, through school outings, field trips and social events, and by organizing clubs and activities around shared interests.
MEVA is accepting enrollment for all Maine students for the 2017-18 school year. To learn more about enrollment visit http://meva.k12.com/how-enroll.html and find an online information session or in-person open house at http://meva.k12.com/events-calendar.html.
