In-Person Learning Opportunities 

The SVUSD Virtual Academy encourages students to make use of our learning lab. 

The learning lab is open: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM, Monday – Thursday.

The learning lab is a quiet place for students to come to complete their school work, receive face-to-face academic support from their teachers, or socialize with their classmates.  The learn lab serves as the hub of our high school program. As a community-based online school, we are grateful to offer our students a physical space to work with their teachers and build community.
