HISTORYAVA has been at the forefront of the online education industry since its infancy.

In 2001, American Virtual Academy was created with a vision to offer students the most comprehensive online education possible. After years of using different technologies, we realized that no one product effectively addressed the specific needs of the teenage learner.

Our founders, Damian Creamer and Vanessa Baviera, have always held the belief that all students have the potential to succeed when provided with the right tools. This philosophy led AVA to vigorously pursue the development and testing of our technology solutions.

As a technology and curriculum provider to Primavera Online High School, the largest high school in Arizona, we have spent countless hours working with students and teachers to improve our systems and refine our methods. The result of this near 10 year collaboration has led to the development of what AVA is proud to offer as one of the leading online education technology suites in the country.

Having successfully accomplished our primary mission, AVA’s focus has now shifted to using our online expertise and technology offerings to help educational institutions and organizations create their own successful online programs. If you have considered adding an online component to your existing programs and would like some help please give us a call. We, like you, want to see your students flourish.

WISDOMOur teachers use the latest technology to enhance the student learning experience.

As with traditional schools, teachers play a critical role in framing the success of an online program.

However, online teaching comes with its own set of unique challenges. Our teaching staff has a wealth of experience in both classroom and virtual environments. They have collaborated extensively on our online systems and represent a significant resource. We would like to make this wisdom available to our clients in developing their own online programs. Depending on your need, we can implement the staffing needs of your new program or we can have a consulting role and train your existing staff to teach effectively in the online environment. Some of our additional programmatic solutions include admissions, enrollment, and student services.

INSTRUCTION

INNOVATION

American Virtual Academy has spent years creating and perfecting systems to address the various demands of online schooling. In order to effectively meet these demands, we have taken a holistic approach by offering a fully integrated software suite that an organization needs to effectively manage and grow an online program. The following offerings represent the most cutting-edge technology in the industry and allow administrators, teachers, students and parents alike to easily access, navigate and manage their daily activities.

What makes our system offerings so unique is that we manage them for you. This hosted solution means there are no large investments to make to improve infrastructure or the need to become technology experts. We take care of the details, allowing you to focus on what you do best.

AVA pioneers software solutions that lead the field of education in online learning.

TECHNOLOGY Our proprietary web-based education software systems include:

LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (LMS)Our digital classroom is engineered

specifically for the teenage mind using technologies that are user friendly. Course blogs and classroom discussions allow for collaborative learning while providing the essential sense of community. Students can customize the interface to their liking such as choosing color and layout. Teachers also have the opportunity to develop curriculum and personalize courses for their students.

PARENT STUDENT PORTAL (PSP)The PSP is the hub for all school-related

information. It has a monitored community network where students can create a profile and communicate with other students. It is also where parents and students can view current class enrollment, progress and performance, as well as obtain technical support.

TEACHER COMMUNICATION CENTERCommunication will always represent a

major factoring in maximizing performance and achieving success. Our communication center integrates a number of tools that centralize all channels of communication between student and teacher. A sampling of these tools includes: a student directory, class blogs, gradebook, live chat, and classroom discussions.

SCHOOL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SMS) Administrators need to measure outcomes

and results in order to make good decisions for their schools. Our robust system allows you to produce instant reports on a wealth of quantitative and qualitative data. This information can then be used to identify the strengths and weaknesses in the curriculum, audit teacher and student activities, review completion and retention rates, and track student progress.

SUCCESSProgram flexibility and supportive technology you can depend on for continued student success.

For us, success means that we are able to offer our clients the types of tools that will empower them to make a positive impact in their communities. In contrast, it would be a failure not to offer a solution to the ever increasing epidemic of drop-out rates in the United States. We feel that providing students with options can make all the difference. As you can see below, we offer the following online programs most education administrators seek out when trying to serve their varied student populations.

FULL TIMESome students find that, for a variety

of reasons, traditional high school is not a fit for them. Some are teen parents, others have to work to support their families. Still others avoid school for social reasons like bullying. Our programs are practical and effective, allowing students to pursue their education rather than drop out.

EMPOWERING YOUR STUDENTS

SUMMER SCHOOLFor students who need to make up

credits or want to graduate early, summer school is a popular option. Courses are typically shorter in duration, giving students time to enjoy vacations, summer camps, and have a social life.

CREDIT RECOVERYStudents who are falling behind or

who have missed classes can use this program to get back on track.

CURRICULUM ENHANCEMENTIdeal for schools in need of additional

courses and highly qualified instructors in specific subject areas. This also includes blended or hybrid solutions for districts that require that a certain percentage of teaching be performed online.

American Virtual Academy would like to thank you for your interest. Let’s continue the commitment to keep students motivated to learn. We would be pleased to talk with you further about your needs.
