History
Cyber Village Academy was founded in February 1997 with the charter to serve the needs of students who are in need of some help when it comes to school in the Minneapolis and St. Paul metro areas and was originally authorized by the Minneapolis Independent School District.[1] It now meets the needs of gifted education and twice exceptional students and is authorized by Innovative Quality Schools. Cyber Village Academy provides help for people who need different learning plans.
Campus
Cyber Village Academy shares a building with Talmud Torah of St. Paul for its on campus classes. The schools are organized and managed separately. Shared spaces include the library, gymnasium, art room, stage, one computer lab and science lab. The building was originally build as a Works Progress Administration project. Grounds include a basketball court, playground, and soccer field.
Curriculum
Cyber Village Academy offers two education options:
1) Fusion Program, Grades K-12 uses a hybrid approach: Students spend 3 days on campus and 2 days on-line each week. The school has expanded to K-12 in the 2015-16 school year. Many families appreciate the high level of family involvement as well as the two distinct learning environments. Online days provide students with the opportunity to pursue enrichment activities, complete their work at their own pace, or work in their home environment. On online days, a study center is available for students who wish to use it.
2) Program for Accelerated Studies using Computer-Assisted Learning (PASCAL) -- 100% on line using OdysseyWare web based software supported by licensed teachers and aligned to Minnesota standards. Contact with teachers is via campus visit, telephone, email & Skype. This program is available to residents of Minnesota in 6th - 12th grade.
