MANCHESTOR, Mo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$LRN #onlineeducationMissouri Virtual Academy (MOVA), a tuition-free online public school, serving students in grades K-12 throughout the state, is ready to get back to work providing Missouri students with the safe and comprehensive education they need during these historic times.
