As a reminder, Ad Astra Virtual Academy does not operate under the same model as last year's remote learning. The Academy will review student enrollment and transfer requests on a semi-annual basis prior to the beginning of each semester, or on a case-by-case basis in the event of an emergency.

Ad Astra Virtual Academy is enrolling PreK-12 students now! Out-of-district and homeschool families welcome. Contact Erica Shook, Director, with questions or complete information for enrollment here: https://forms.gle/E8JLrsmtS82bqs2e8
