K12 - Tennessee Virtual Academy Reviews 

We like almost everything about TNVA. This is the only school Alissa has attended and she's finishing her sixth year. As early as kindergarten, her teachers, for the most part have all offered just the right amount of challenges and support.
I particularly like that I can know at all times, what's being said in the classrooms. Unlike a brick and morter setting, I can insure there are no distractions so Alissa can focus on learning.
I believe that TNVA has some exceptional teachers and that Alissa has been lucky enough to learn with some of them. I am so grateful to Heather Dorey, Bobbi Brock-Cobb, Megan Moore, Tina Hill, especially Judy Bingham, Heather Sentell and Samantha St Vincent.
We also like that there's a P. E. Class each week as well as alternating music and art classes.
Another great thing about TNVA is that hat the teachers allow time for students to gather together to play games, work together or just hang out. Alissa takes her work seriously and usually wants to work alone but once her work is done, she loves hanging out with her and he friends she's made.
We went into the very first class as if Alissa was in a brick and morter school, easy access to all learning materials, distractions a rarity and no tardies or absentees.
Alissa works hard and has learned so much. Virtual learning has worked well for us

My daughter started k-12, with many disabilities. They have helped her learn people love to hear her voice. They helped her want to make friends. The last end of year meeting she ran out of her leg braces. My daughter goes to therapy four times a week, all year. With that and her many doc appts. She doesn't miss a minute of class. She has grown so much independence, she is no longer timid or afraid of everyone. She loves to learn. With K-12 my daughter thrives. I wouldn't want to think how far she would be behind if she had to go to regular public school.

My child loves her teachers and she loves learning. She is eager to get started each day.

Tennessee virtual academy is helping my son exceed in education. We've been here since he was in Kindergarten and still enjoy being able to have remote learning at home.
He has been having so trouble and the teachers are doing there best to help him.

My experience thus far into the school year has been a rollercoaster. From having to swap teachers due to poor attitude from previous teacher, to changing the student OLS, as well as changing the parent log in apps. The plus side is that after being transferred to a new classroom my student has flourished and feels more seen and heard. The new OLS is very confusing not just for me but my child as well because it’s not as simple as previous versions, it’s brining up more tabs then needed especially for the lower grades and those of us (student and parent/guardians) that have attention deficits. The need for multiple apps is a bit outrageous, we should be able to have one app for Learning coaches to access student views even if it means swapping logins. Multiple apps cause clutter, I don’t like the clutter neither in person nor on my devices. I’ve noticed a lot of community events do cost, maybe not admission but for families like mine, we have to travel over a hour and an half away to attend most events that will be of interests to my student. I will say my students principal (2nd grade) has been amazing, she listened very well when it came to me needing help and my worries with the teacher we began the school year with. Her current teacher has been amazing, she has the most amazing mind and ideas on how to approach and help every student in her classroom. I cannot express enough how much our current teacher has made a difference for not only my student but myself as well.

TNVA is a recommendable and I like my choice for my child’s education. Whenever my child needs help, the teacher’s go the extra mile to make sure he understands his assignments. The one on one in the break out room helps with completing his lessons. This school and it’s teacher’s want our children to succeed.

We've had such a great experience with TNVA! The flexibility of the online format has been a lifesaver for our family’s schedule, and I love that my child can work at their own pace. It’s been amazing to see them thrive in an environment that truly fits their learning style.

It sis amazing my daughter is comfortable and learning at a great pace the teachers are amazing and very hands on with there students and I love it

Destiny is learning & growing very satisfied with tnva. Everyday watching my daughter learn is absolutely great that we have this opportunity.

My daughter is an A student and loves school. Teachers are great and so nice to their students. Virtual school has been the best thing I have done for my daughter's education.

The teachers and admin that I have dealt with have been absolutely wonderful! They are patient and kind and extremely helpful with any issue. This is my daughter's 2nd year at TNVA, she started in kindergarten with them, and she loves it! The whole family loves it! Both her teachers in kindergarten and 1st grade have been phenomenal and the kids really benefit from the personal 1 on 1 atmosphere that the classroom provides. My daughter loves going to school, she loves her classmates, but mostly I love that I get to be an active part in my child's education. I know immediately when she is struggling with something and can address it as soon as possible without having to wait to find out from a third party. I love that it's a public school just done virtually. I wouldn't change a thing. My child is thriving and she's happy, what's not to love!

This school is amazing! It has helped my kids learn so much, I love to hear everything they have learned and the new friends they’ve made! Love the staff! Overall it is truly a great school!! Thanks so much Tennessee Virtual Academy (k12)!

My son loves going here, he has thrived since starting K12. I love how involved the teachers are.

Flexability

I know that our son is getting the same education online as he would be in a school building. The teachers do a wonderful job!

Great school and Great Teachers.

well this whole canvas thing is horrible period, whoever decided to go this route should be fired period,the previous years w/o it was awesome. all of our previous years with k12 were awesome,this time around not so much,im arguing with people saying one of my children wasnt in class while watching them in class doing the work to teachers telling my kids they dont have to stay the whole class they can leave after the work but then report my kids as absent, having to sign admission of guilt to stuff my kids havent done and having to sign things that promise the kids or 1 child will do better when their grades are good and not bad due to TN being on homeschool organizations,none of the higher ups have been much help and im not going to name names because what they say goes,its a joke changing your address even when the person that does it still doesnt change it,getting testing sites and times updated is a joke (i was told just approve it we will fix it later then they dont then its a joke getting it fixed),vacation time and school breaks are a joke as well . all ill say is im very disappointed this time around with k12 period.

Overall, my children and I have had a very positive experience with TNVA. After exploring alternative schooling options following COVID, we found this program to be a great fit for our family. The teachers and staff have consistently been supportive, friendly, and helpful, both online and during in-person interactions.

However, one area that has been challenging for our family is the TCAP testing process (only required in-person event). My two oldest sons have chronic asthma, and during one testing period they experienced a severe flare-up that required a medical exemption from their doctor. While I understand the importance of standardized testing, the current structure can be difficult for families managing ongoing health conditions. Greater flexibility or consideration in these situations would be appreciated.

Additionally, my youngest son has eczema and ADHD, which can make extended in-person testing environments more difficult for him.

As a parent, I will admit that I tend to be very hands-on when it comes to my children’s health needs. I was a young mom and experienced last night hospital visits and missed many days of work because of these conditions. It can be difficult for me to leave them in settings where others may not be fully aware of how to recognize or respond to their specific medical conditions. Because of this, having opportunities for increased parental involvement during testing would provide an added sense of reassurance.

One suggestion I would offer is to allow increased parental involvement during testing/in-person events when appropriate. For example, permitting parents to assist as proctors(I understand that their is a requirement for this) or hall monitors (such as for restroom breaks) could help provide additional support for students, especially those with medical or developmental needs.

While virtual learning does limit face-to-face social interaction, I do appreciate that my children have more flexibility to spend time outdoors and stay active.

Overall, we truly value this school and the opportunities it provides. My main recommendation is to explore ways to involve parents more directly and offer additional flexibility during testing/in-person events when possible.

I love Tnva it is a great school and my son loves in when he first started Tnva he couldn't read at all now he reads better than me lol. The teachers are great.
