How We Help Students Succeed

At Heron Virtual Academy of South Carolina (HVASC), we believe in unlocking every student’s potential, no matter what challenges they have faced or may still be facing. We couple proven teaching techniques with interactive, online learning to help students feel engaged, empowered, and challenged.

By incorporating audio, video, live chat, printed materials, and group interactions into the curriculum,* our students can learn in the ways that work best for them. Class Connects provide one-to-one student–teacher meetings and live instructional sessions.

To address each student’s individual needs, we give them a benchmark test to assess their skills in various subjects. From there, we develop an Individualized Individualized Learning Plan to place students in appropriate courses, identify strengths and areas for improvement, and chart their progress. And if a student needs to recover a credit, our accelerated credit recovery courses can help make that happen.

We also help students map out career and higher education goals by offering a college and career planning tool and personalized support.
