I wish the brick and mortar schools could follow the PAVCS model. The teachers are so great, and the curriculum is challenging. Awesome school, the best of both worlds:)

PAVCS has been a wonderful schooling venue for our family for 6 years. Our children work at their own pace at appropriate grade level by subject and accomplish self guided learning as they progress through the curriculum. These kids will be schooling in a way similar to college style learning in high

PAVCS uses K12 curriculum which is OUTSTANDING. This school curriculum is top notch, challenging and so thorough. Our three children are leaps and bounds ahead in so many ways. People worry about the socialization missed by schooling at homw. I am thrilled with the negative socialization missed! Read less

My son just finished 4th grade! We had no complaints. . . great teacher support! He had conference calls twice a month. My daughter just finished 7th grade. Teacher support for middle school children is non existent, or at least for us. We got a call at the beginning of the year and at the end from

In reading the previous review I have had the complete opposite experience with 2nd and 4th grade. We have participated in approximately 12 novel discussions and ALL have been punctual, thorough, well-planned, and expanded upon and aligned with the K12 lessons. We also participated in the many written

Our teachers have been well-informed, professional, punctual, supportive through conferences, questions via-e-mail, etc. The reminders teachers provide concerning progress in hours and curriculum are meant to provide guidance and structure for the student so that the required progress can be made based on the student's needs and with the knowledge that the materials were received late from K12. Online opportunities to socialize are vast (chess/checkers, touch math, etc.) as well as learning link sessions which are led by teachers and support completion of the K12 lessons. Read less

We are completing our 1st year with PAVCS. The curriculum is outstanding, but the teacher/school support could be better. Teachers had little interaction with our children (2nd and 4th grade). Most disappointing were the online novel discussions that were offered throughout the year. In only one

Teachers seemed to be unfamiliar with basic aspects of the curriculum and there was a lot of pressure to complete the curriculum even though materials arrived as late as 2 months after the start of the school year. Social interaction has been a difficult area. There are few opportunities to interact with other children from the school. In addition, while field trip time counts towards the required hours, on-line lessons still need to be completed. Read less

This school is awesome! The schoolwork is pretty cool, and it's challenging. There's programs for the gifted students, and for the student with special needs. In elluminates, there's a lot of communication, so you feel like part of a group. You tend to think of your classmates as a branch of your family,
