The Maidu Virtual Charter Academy is committed to providing a creative and supportive environment where students and staff are given opportunities to discover purpose, seek resources, and create experiences for learning and personal growth in an engaging and rigorous environment, enabling students to become self-motivated, competent lifelong learners. MVCA Vision Statement: Our vision is to continue as a leader in regards to pioneering 21st Century learning. MVCA provides a two-stranded set of options for our students. The “Base Strand” is built on access to A-G online curriculum, dual enrollment opportunities, and a competency-based approach to course and curriculum completion. The “Personalized Strand” is more individualized and meets the students at their level of need and be based upon a Personalized Education Plan (PEP). Support through Personalized Education Plans, access to dual enrollment with our Community College partners, potential to complete and explore career pathways and access to a-g qualifying courses in an online environment, will be the focus of our vision. We maintain a nurturing, yet challenging educational environment that permits, motivates, and encourages students to reach their full potential in learning, creativity and citizenship, with a special focus on 21st Century skills. Dedicated, innovative educators work together with school families to maintain a community committed to high achievement and to fostering cognitive, creative, motivated, and enthusiastic life-long learners. Maidu Virtual Charter Academy offers a dynamic secondary education program integrating 21st century skills with independent study and online instructional modalities. Students are encouraged to be advocates for their own education as they develop and practice the skills necessary to be lifelong learners. The totality of the Charter School curriculum is aligned with California Common Core State Standards and Curriculum Frameworks as well as CAASPP assessments and will be approved by the PUHSD Board of Trustees. Online computer technology is the vehicle of content delivery in the MVCA course of study. Courses are offered online via the internet using curriculum developed by the staff of the Charter School. Canvas is used as the Learning Management System with potential curricular support from Edmentum’s Plato, as well as A-G approved curriculum already in place in the PUHSD. The MVCA staff facilitates events and activities for the
students to get together and connect as a group. The support network they create is a great experience for all involved.
