Pleasanton Virtual Academy (PVA) has been an incredible experience for my eldest daughter. The teachers instill confidence in their students and provide meaningful opportunities for socialization, setting PVA apart from other online programs.I love the diversity in the student body—some are student-athletes needing flexibility, others seek a learning space free from traditional school pressures. Despite their differences, PVA students are kind, supportive, and positive—a refreshing change from typical high school environments. PVA''s small, flexible structure allows for personalized support, with one-on-one teacher time that goes beyond academics. The staff fosters a welcoming environment, greeting students personally each morning.Now in our third year, we are so grateful for PVA that we plan to transition our younger daughter as well. PVA isn't just a school—it''s a community where students thrive. We are all in!
