Registration Link

Note: Students will be enrolled in AVA for the entire school year.
Albertville City Schools is pleased to offer a virtual learning experience for students in
ninth through twelfth grade who are zoned for Albertville City Schools and currently
enrolled. After enrolling, students may choose to continue in the traditional learning
environment or enroll in virtual learning with Albertville Virtual Academy (AVA). Students
will remain enrolled as an Albertville High School student while taking virtual classes
through AVA.
The virtual curriculum features courses in mathematics, science, language arts, world
languages, social studies as well as electives. In collaboration with the school counselor,
virtual school students will have the opportunity to select a virtual pathway to meet
his/her individual learning goals. Students desiring a virtual, non-traditional learning
environment are encouraged to apply.
The link to enroll in AVA for the 2022-23 Academic School Year can be found at the top of
this page. Please be aware that according to guidelines and procedures set by Albertville
City Schools, an evaluation of your student’s prior academic performance will be conducted
to determine eligibility for AVA this school year.

Requirements:
• Students will be required to maintain course grade averages of 70% or higher
in all courses to remain at Albertville Virtual Academy.
• At the midway point students with course averages below 70% in all academic

courses will be contacted by AVA and school administration to schedule in-
person academic support time to address non-mastery of standards.

• At the end of each grading period, students who have not achieved course
grade averages of 70% will be recommended to return to their home zoned
school for in-person learning.

Virtual Attendance Procedures:
• Attendance is a combination of measures that indicates if a student is

make adequate progress toward course completion.

instructional model is suitable for highly motivated students who want to engage in
educational experiences from home.
