VCA Virtual Summer School · 2026

Keep growing, all summer long.

June 25 – July 22, 2026 · Online, at your scholar’s own pace.

A joyful, personalized summer of learning for our scholars — built on VCA Virtual’s own Virtue curriculum, taught fully online, and shaped to each child. No summer slide. Just steady, encouraging growth from the comfort of home.

Summer at VCA Virtual

A summer that builds your scholar up.

VCA Virtual Summer School is a real, online summer school for our families — four unhurried weeks of personalized learning on our own Virtue curriculum, designed to keep your scholar growing in confidence, character, and skill.

Summer is long, and learning doesn’t have to stop when the school year does. Our Summer School meets each scholar exactly where they are — firming up what needs review, moving ahead where they’re ready, and keeping the joyful rhythm of good work. It’s all online, all at your child’s own pace, all from home. The dates line up with our school calendar’s summer session, but everything here is fully virtual.

How Summer School Works

Personalized, start to finish.

No one-size-fits-all class. Summer School runs on our own Virtue curriculum — the platform our scholars already know — tuned to each child.

A plan made for your scholar

We start where your child actually is. Firm up what needs review, stretch ahead where they’re ready — a personalized path, not a generic packet.

Their own pace, from home

Fully online and self-paced. A little each morning, or longer stretches — whatever fits your summer. Learning bends to your family, not the other way around.

III

Real teacher support

Scholars are never left alone with a screen. Their teacher and Academic Coach check in, encourage, and keep them moving — warmth and high expectations together.

Faith woven through

This is still VCA. Scripture, virtue, and a Christ-centered tone run through the summer work — the growth of mind and heart, together.

Who’s Eligible

Summer School is for our family.

VCA Virtual Summer School is offered to scholars who belong to VCA Virtual — current students and newly-enrolled families alike. It’s a gift to our own community, not an open public program.
