How Online Elementary School Works
At Washington Virtual Academies (WAVA), we believe all students should wake up excited to learn and that true learning starts by recognizing each child’s innate curiosity and sparking the excitement of discovery.
That’s why WAVA uses the K12 curriculum. It was created by an experienced team of educators using proven instructional approaches. At the elementary level, students take courses in the core subjects listed below. Beginning in grade 3, they also take a self-guided elective course in music or a world language.

A Strong Foundation for Your Child’s Academic Journey
The elementary curriculum focuses on developing fundamental skills and teaching the key knowledge building blocks each student needs to master the major subject areas, meet state standards, and complete more advanced coursework. Our personalized approach means students can go as fast or slow as they need to.
