Nearly 1,800 Students Enrolled in MCPS Virtual Academy

Beginning its second year, the MCPS Virtual Academy will provide full-time virtual learning to nearly 1,800 students in kindergarten through 12th grade. The Virtual Academy partners with students’ home schools, so students continue to have access to services, including meals, extracurricular activities and athletics.

The secondary Virtual Academy runs an alternating “block” schedule, organized into “A Days” and “B Days.” Each grade level does have one class that meets every day for a shorter period of time, and the lunch block for elementary, middle, and high school students are all aligned.
