School Mission
The Highline Virtual Academy is a flexible learning model that provides asynchronous and synchronous learning through school-directed structures aligned within our academic year calendar. Our instructional model includes virtual and in-person experiences based on curricular and student needs.
Our school is centered around standards-based learning that challenges and engages self-motivated students. HVA is focused on building relationships with students and families in order to develop a holistic partnership that will support student academic success and social-emotional well-being.
We are committed to delivering on our Highline Promise to know every student by name, strength and need.
