Tennessee Virtual Academy Opens Its Online Doors for New School Year
MAYNARDVILLE, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Tennessee Virtual Academy—a program of Union County, TN Board of Education— is ready to get back to work providing Tennessee students with the interactive and engaging learning experience they need during these unprecedented times.
TNVA offers a tuition-free education to students statewide in kindergarten through 8th grade. Teachers and students will open their laptops to log on and start the 2020-2021 school year on August 4th.
The first day of school comes amid many families’ school-related concerns during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. TNVA students have access to a robust set of online resources and attend live virtual classes. With personalized learning tools available for every student, TNVA combines a rigorous curriculum, online instruction, and the support of state-certified teachers.
