Public Virtual Schools

Single District Virtual Schools (SDVS)

A SDVS only enrolls students who live in the single school district operating the virtual school. This type of virtual school, a SDVS, is separate and distinct from Commonwealth of Massachusetts Virtual Schools (CMVS) that operate under G.L. c. 71, § 94, and 603 CMR 52.00. While virtual schools operated by and for a single district do not follow the same process as CMVS, there are certain requirements that do apply and must be followed. This guidance found below provides a process for a single school district intending to develop and operate a virtual school that only enrolls students from that school district under G.L. c. 71, § 94(s).

There are currently eight school districts that operate a SDVS:

  1. Attleboro Virtual Academy
  2. Brockton Virtual Learning Academy
  3. Chelsea Virtual Learning Academy
  4. Leominster Personalized Virtual Learning Academy (LPVLA)
  5. Peabody Personalized Remote Education Program (Peabody P.R.E.P.)
  6. Taunton Public Virtual Academy (TPVA)
  7. The Springfield Virtual School
  8. Westfield Virtual School
