As part of our curriculum, Virtual Learning Academy offers a competency recovery program. Each course is made up of a certain number of competencies or fundamentals, and the student needs to pass each section. If, for example, a student mastered and passed eight of the 10 key concepts or competencies for a course, he/she can re-learn just those two key competencies, rather than repeating the complete course. The competency recovery program allows the student a complete understanding of the whole course.

To view course competencies, visit our course catalog and select the competency recovery tab.

“The focus in a competency-based school, such as VLACS, is on understanding and learning rather than forcing all students to learn at the same rate.”

With our online learning system, it's easy to help the student master and demonstrate understanding of these competencies at his or her own pace, thereby providing a deep and thorough understanding of each course.
