The GCC Virtual Academy will provide all required standards-based curriculum to our students just like all other GCC schools. We will utilize a blend of SAVVAS, Edgenuity, and traditional GCC board approved curriculum, depending on the course and grade level.
Will there be a focus on Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) in the Virtual Academy?
Yes, all grade levels will have SEL incorporated into their weekly learning. Some grades will have a specific SEL focused curriculum while others will have key SEL components built into weekly meetings and classes. Throughout GCC we use a program called Capturing Kids’ Hearts to build school culture, meet students' SEL needs, and encourage self-management.
