A charter is a public education school that bills your local district to send your child to their school. Approximately $15,000 is spent for a regular education student and $30,000 for a special education student. A cyber-charter is not governed by your elected school board and do not have the expectations set by Central Valley. Cyber-Charters also do not have to have 100% certified teachers like Central Valley has to provide. 25% of a cyber-charter staff could be not qualified to teach at Central Valley.

At CV Online Academy your child will remain a Central Valley student with the capability of choosing what program of studies works best for them. You and your child have the ability to become a hybrid, part time or full-time student. This means that your child can blend traditional school with cyber service or become a full-time cyber student from home or school! Your student now has the opportunity to create their own schedule and times that they would like to be educated. Your child will also graduate from Central Valley!

Cyber classes are offered in Grades K-12.

Your tax dollars pay for a student to be enrolled in CV Online Academy as they are Central Valley Students.
