VLA Online Summer Learning Information
Open for credit recovery students or students seeking original credit in a course.
The Virtual Learning Academy (VLA) in Lewisville ISD is pleased to offer a robust set of summer online learning opportunities. This summer we will have a nine-week ONLINE VLA summer learning session with classes starting on June 1 and ending July 23rd. During this time, students have an opportunity to take anywhere from 0.5 credits to 2 credits. However, we suggest students not exceed 1 credit attempted during this period. Keep in mind that a student taking a one-credit class will actually need to enroll in two half credit classes such as Algebra 1 A (0.5 credit) and Algebra 1 B (0.5 credit) to get the full credit and that each half credit class is taught in approximately 4 weeks.
Please visit your Skyward account under ONLINE FORMS to register for VLA.
