Virtual Schools

Norris Academy Virtual School is committed to an educational model where all learners are leaders exercising their voice in creating relevant, powerful learning experiences to reach goals and competencies in the dimensions of academics, employability, citizenship, and wellness. Learners create a robust learner profile that builds an understanding of themselves and reflects on who they are and who they might become; they will understand their learning preferences and strategies for engagement, regulation, and advocacy.

The Digital Learning Liaison and Learning Specialists offer oversight and guidance in progression of learning goals through regularly scheduled 1:1 conferrals and small group labs. Flexible schedules allow learners to move at their own pace and engage with local and global communities when it best fits their schedule, while the parent/guardian acts as the learning coach and is actively engaged in learning plans.

Norris Academy Virtual School is a learner-centered approach to education that utilizes a robust Learner Profile to inform the development of each learner's personal Plan and Pathway.
