Student athletes who are being schooled from home and playing for a local consortium school in a team or individual sport, or those student athletes who are pursuing athletic competition in a variety of fields including preparing for competitions, will want their course work in their online high school approved by the NCAA to meet academic eligibility requirements for scholarships and participation.
These student athletes must balance the demands of a challenging sport training and competition schedule, while being able to devote the necessary time to their academic program. The RVA understands these unique student needs and provides a program of academic quality while allowing the student athlete to devote the necessary time to their athletic pursuits.
The NCAA has established regulations for courses that these student athletes take in a non-traditional setting. The list of RVA courses below are approved by the NCAA to meet athletic eligibility as they enter college. The student is responsible for ensuring that he or she meets NCAA Core Course requirements.
