Do you want to attend Duval Virtual Instruction Academy for the 2014-2015 school year?
If so, here is what you need to know!
Duval Virtual Instruction Academy is a kindergarten through twelfth grade home based public school. We offer a few
different learning platforms to fit your student’s needs. The two main platforms that we use, VSCHOOLZ and Calvert
School, are each taught by certified Duval County teachers. The first, our internet based fully digital platform, is powered
by VSCHOOLZ. Our second learning platform, Calvert School, is our book based program that serves kindergarten
through eighth grade. This platform is designed to encompass more parent involvement as it is predominately a book
based curriculum. If you have child with specific learning needs, please contact our guidance department to learn about
your other options.
Still interested? Then follow the next steps!
Step 1: Online Information Session
Attend an online information session. These sessions will begin over the summer. You will need to check the school
website calendar for dates and links. This session will introduce you to Duval Virtual Instruction Academy and also to our
learning platforms Calvert and VSCHOOLZ. All Calvert (book based) K-8 information is available with the Calvert
information session. The middle and high school sessions are for VSCHOOLZ (our digital curriculum) only. If there are no
immediate sessions, please go to step 2!
Step 2: On-Site/On-line Orientation Session
Come to an onsite orientation session over the summer. Check our website for dates. If there are no immediate
orientation sessions, please go to step 3!

Create a student profile. Make sure to add a parent email in the profile!
A confirmation email will be sent for parent to create an account. Check junk mail if email isn't received.
Registration will not proceed without the parent approving the student’s request for enrollment.
DVIA will confirm both student and parent account. All registration forms must be in for account approval.
Once approved, the student will be added to an orientation course which should be completed prior to August 15th. Each
student should log back in using their user name and password that they created on initial registration to access the
orientation course. Classes will be available for viewing and practice navigation on August 14th. Teachers will be
available on the first day of school on August 18th! Parents will be able to login using their credentials to view valuable
student information and progress throughout the year.

updated immunization record which includes the required Tdap immunization.
