- Instructor: TNSTEP
TNSTEP hosted a webinar on the Tennessee Virtual Academy (TNVA) to share information about this free online public school. The TNVA has been authorized by the Union County School District to serve students in kindergarten through eighth grade.
Randy Bretza, Local Development Manager for TNVA, and Tara Richardson, with K12.org, were our guest presenters for this webinar. In addition to sharing what is available to students through this online academy and how it works, Randy and Tara answered questions which will be saved in a Q & A document that will be posted on our website.
The TN Virtual Academy is open for students in TN to enroll.
Many families have found TNVA to be another option to meet the educational needs of their children. In situations such as,
*child didn’t fit into the traditional classroom setting
*wanted a small learning environment without the costs
*had bullying issues
*has learning disabilities
*wanted to receive instruction on their level
*wanted to move at a faster or slower pace, TNVA has been a great alternative for their children.
