Zion came to the online school at the beginning of the second semester because her mother, De’Lisa, believed a different, more flexible learning environment would benefit her daughter. According to De’Lisa, Zion likes that she can work ahead which enables her to participate in many different activities in and outside of school.

“FVCA is an online school that provides flexibility and a really good curriculum,” De’Lisa said. “A school that allows students to be able to work ahead just to be able to participate in different activities such as sports, different meet ups and so much more.”
