The Cabarrus County Virtual Academy is a blended online and in-person instructional model that incorporates flexibility while also offering in person or synchronous tutoring, small group work, and field trips.

Any student who will be in kindergarten through the 12th grade and resides in the Cabarrus County Schools boundary may apply to attend. All students who apply will be screened in order to determine acceptance. Students should demonstrate the desire for a home learning environment, exceptional motivation to be successful in virtual learning, or a need for a flexible schedule.

Students who have "pursuits" that are outside of school activities requiring 20 or more hours per week are strong candidates for the Virtual Academy.

The Cabarrus County Schools Virtual Academy will be a combination of virtual and in-person instruction in the 2022-23 school year.  Students will be required to participate in face-to-face instructional time based on their grade level and performance.

Students in Grades K-8 are required to attend on-campus sessions once per week as part of our program.
