Middle School Academics
Online Middle School Academics
At Washington Virtual Academies (WAVA), we believe in finding new ways of learning that work for all kinds of students. That’s why we use the K12 curriculum. It was created by an experienced team of educators using proven instructional approaches.
At the middle school level, students take courses in the core subjects listed below. They also take self-guided electives in music and world languages.

Preparing Middle School Students for College and Career
Our career and college prep program helps middle school students begin considering more long-term goals by discovering their interests in various career fields. Students take career exploration courses to get a broad overview of job fields, progressing from general information to more in-depth study into specific career opportunities. This insight will help them better choose a career pathway in high school, giving them a competitive edge for college and careers. Students in the program can also connect with industry professionals through live online sessions and participate in field trips and career clubs.
Choice of Standard or FLEX Program
Families can choose the standard WAVA program or the new FLEX Program. Both use the same quality curriculum from K12. The standard program features required online synchronous sessions called Class Connects and is best for students who need live instructional time with teachers. The FLEX Program has only one required Class Connect each week and is well-suited for independent learners with engaged Learning Coaches.
Highly Capable Program
WAVA’s Highly Capable Program provides enrichment services for the most highly capable students. Highly capable students are those who perform, or show potential to perform, at significantly advanced academic levels when compared with others of their age, experiences, or environments. Highly capable students generally have outstanding abilities in intellectual aptitude, specific academic abilities, and creative productivity within a specific domain.
