Over 1.5 million K12 students were engaged in

 online and blended learning for the 2009 - 2010 school year - including over 5000 Cobb students.

90% of Public College and Universities nationally and

all Georgia public Colleges, Universities and Technical Schools use an online learning system for

instruction, communication and assessment.

The Cobb County School District is a leader in the integration of technology to provide improved educational opportunities for students.  Cobb Virtual Academy is an integral part of this leadership.  Completing a meaningful online learning experience allows students to become familiar with key means of increasing their own learning skills and knowledge.  It will also prepare them for the demands that they will encounter in higher education, the workplace, and in personal life-long learning.  While students informally develop technology skills and gain experience through their media rich lives, an online learning experience will require them to complete assignments, meet deadlines, learn appropriate online behavior, and effectively collaborate with others in an instructional setting.

Cobb students experience virtual learning through Cobb Virtual Academy and in the regular classroom with Blended Learning.
