Chicago Virtual Charter School

Posted Sunday, December 20, 2009

I am extremely satisfied with how challenging and comprehensive K12 curriculum is. CVCS has improved in offering support services for struggling students, which was a concern last year and I am pleased with the progress. I really like the culture of the school. CVCS obviously has high parent involvement due to nature of the school, which makes a noticeable difference. The school creates many opportunities for parents to voice their concerns and makes decisions with those concerns in mind. My only concern is the extra demands that are placed upon learning coaches (parents) as a result of CPS's policies and guidelines that place a great deal of emphases on ISAT testing. CVCS is a growing school that has some challenges, what school doesn't? What matters is that CVCS continues to recognize challenges and strives to make effective solutions. Overall,the direct involvement I have in my child's education is most rewarding.

This school is growing in what they offer every year. CVCS not only listens to the needs but makes adjustments as well. This year there is now a special class for the advanced learners to challenge them. This school is a jewel for chicago public students if all of the parents, students, and faculty continue in working hard.

Great school, excellent curriculum, friendly environment. This school needs to improve to meet the needs of the gifted students as much at-risk students. There are few if any accommodations made to ensure that gifted children receive the resources needed. That is disappointing because CVCS advertises as being able to meet the needs of all students.

I would have moved to the suburbs if we hadn't found CVCS. It has restored my faith in CPS. The curriculum is well developed and K12, Inc provides my kids with everything that we could ever need as far as materials and supplies go in addition to the online resources and support. It is perfect for the gifted learner as well as the student that might be at risk. As the learning coach, the parent guides the student and each child can go at their own pace. Accelerate with a gifted learner and decelerate with a struggling learner. The curriculum is mastery based so NO CHILD IS EVER LEFT BEHIND and those that want to progress ahead, can, as far and as fast as they would like. The Learning Coach-Parent trainer, Pam Cray is outstanding! She provides so much encouragement and support. You won't regret enrolling your child in CVCS!
