Our Instructional North Star

“EXPLICIT INSTRUCTION. URGENT EXECUTION. GROWING EVERY WOLF TO PEAK ACHIEVEMENT.”

To allow for laser focus, Virtus Academy operates using a Mini Academy model.

Mini-Academy Band

Grade Levels

Strategic Focus

 

Primary Academy

Grades K–2

Foundational literacy, numeracy, and baseline testing bridges.

Elementary Academy

Grades 3–5

Conceptual growth, applied knowledge, and state assessment stamina.

Middle Academy

Grades 6–8

Rigor acceleration, critical analysis, and systemic ecosystem dynamics.

High School Academy

Grades 9–12

EOC mastery, advanced evaluation and analysis, and graduation readiness (CCR).

Along the way, we are committed to a robust program of remediation and individual education plans for students who qualify.

Virtus Academy is leaning into the Project-Based Learning (PBL) portion of our charter component in an entirely new way. By shifting toward an intentional model, we are keeping the current urgent academic needs of our students at the forefront while still honoring our applied learning philosophy. This streamlined approach offers four distinct, developmentally appropriate performance opportunities for students to showcase high-stakes academic knowledge and creative mastery: the Knowledge Bowl, the 5th Grade Science Fair, the multigrade Science and Social Studies Digital Flashcard files, and the High School Anthology.
