Virtual Academy (NOVA) is a consortium of public brick and mortar schools that

and share teachers at times. </span></p>

curriculum (GradPoint and Connections Learning) in different ways.  The
most common uses are credit recovery; electives that could not otherwise be
offered; alternative school curriculum; ACT Prep; and providing an option to
students who are currently homeschooled or attending Ohio online schools. 
NOVA is an opportunity to bring students back to the district.  </span></p>
