Accreditation
K12 Private Academy at the GWAcademy is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI), a division of AdvancED.  Additionally, K12 Private Academy is recognized as a diploma granting institution by the Virginia Council for Private Education as authorized by the Virginia State Board of Education.  We are proud members of both the National Junior Honor Society and the National Honor Society.  
Our success is attributed to  highly dedicated, certified teachers who deliver a high quality curriculum in an environment which uses online lessons along with text books and lab materials shipped to the students.  Throughout every lesson, unit, and course, our teachers remain constantly involved to monitor progress, ensure mastery, and to develop specific intervention plans if a student is in need of additional support.

Courses are structured to be delivered over ninety day terms to ensure a quality education, and are synchronous in design, requiring a high degree of interaction between the student and teacher. Most of our students take a college preparatory curriculum over a four year period.  Each student also has the support of a team of student advocates to ensure personal and academic success.  A wide range of clubs, activities, and organizations are available to provide our full-time students the opportunities to develop leadership skills, make friends and nurture their talents and interests.
How the School Works 
K12 Private Academy offers an enriched program for high school athletes and performers at GWAcademy. Students have access to an array of comprehensive, honors, and AP courses as well as dozens of unique electives. The standard K12 Private Academy policies and graduation requirements apply to the classroom-based program. Students in the GWAcademy program have access to attend school in a classroom located on the campus of GWAcademy, at regularly scheduled times. An Academic Coordinator is on-site and in the classroom to support student learning as a face-to-face supplement to the standard International Academy instructional model. Students receive classroom-based coaching support for engagement and for general questions from the on-site Academic Coordinator. In addition, the online teachers provide synchronous group and individual instruction, grading, feedback, and support for students through the K12 learning management system and communication tools. 
​

Both students and parents have access to the online learning platform. Student academic work is comprised of assignments within the learning platform of the school. Additionally, students receive support in the form of academic coaching and college counseling. For parents, built-in planning and progress tools let you view lesson completion and monitor your student’s advancement to ensure he or she is moving at the right pace. Helpful screens display which lessons have been mastered, and which require more attention and work.


Flexibility Without Sacrificing Academic Excellence

Our Academic Coordinator works with each student individually to achieve a dynamic balance of his or her studies, training and competition time both at home and on the road.  We understand how to help student-athletes and student-performers manage their schoolwork when these events take them away from the academic setting for periods of time.  Being fully integrated in the GW Academy community ensures students can focus on their training, competitions, and performances while away, knowing that other aspects of their school life are well managed.  Students reap the benefits of the  flexibility of an online curriculum and are regularly accepted into the top colleges and universities throughout the US:
