FULL-TIME and HALF-DAY CURRICULUMS

Full-Time Academic and Fine Arts Curriculum
ASPVA is honored to work collaboratively with National Connections Academy (NaCA) to offer an accredited curriculum to the students of
ASPVA.  NaCA offers a customized educational solution allowing schools such as ASPVA to offer a college preparatory academic
curriculum with an emphasis on the Fine Arts. NaCA, a national leader in online education, created Connections Learning curriculum to
bring the proven power of digital learning to your students. NaCA was founded in 2001 by educators and innovators who recognized
the power of online learning to transform K–12 education. With a team of talented curriculum specialists, programmers, graphic
designers, and fellow educators, they created a multi-dimensional curriculum of more than 600 proven, standards-aligned courses K–12
courses, along with a powerful digital learning platform and instructional protocols designed to engage today’s tech-centric student. In
partnership with expert teachers and dedicated administrators, they launched more than a dozen successful virtual schools, bringing
quality online education directly to more than 60,000 students to date.  This curriculum provides ASPVA students an optimal schedule
allowing more time for fine arts classes during the school day.  The advanced technology, online curriculum and teaching tools also
allows for students to work professionally within the industry while continuing their academic studies without penalty or delay.
Any student admitted must have strong learning skills, maturity and self -discipline.  Credits from any accredited school may transfer into
ASPVA. ASPVA will evaluate each student to determine if all credits are eligible for transfer.  There may be some difficulty in non-
accredited home schooling credits fully transferring into ASPVA, but this will not be known until the student is submitted for evaluation.  
NaCA does offer Credits by Examination (CBE) for courses where the student believes he or she has mastered the subject.  At some
point, if the student chooses to continue his or her education at the college level, it is highly recommended they take the SAT and/or the
ACT examination.
  

ASPVA is a school of choice, and is committed to placing students in our program that is considered the best fit for each individual. Our
focus is on students who wish to pursue academic and artistic success, and we are not equipped to support all learning differences.   
We ask that you inform us of any special needs prior to enrolling in ASPVA.

Half-Day Fine Arts Program
ASPVA also offers a half-day curriculum which offers the same pre-college fine arts classes available to 6th-12th grade students in our
full-time program.   We currently offer classes in theater, voice, dance and visual arts.  Students will participate in 3 hour class sessions
per day Monday – Friday from 1:30 – 4:30 pm.  The ASPVA calendar applies, and students will have 175 instructional days per school
year.  Auditions are required and tuition is $3,500 per semester.
