November 2, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Edwards found AZ Virtual Academy, an Arizona online charter school that uses the curriculum of a company called K12, in 2006.

The high school program offers more than 130 classes in core, elective, advanced placement and language courses.

The Edwards family uses two computers on loan from the academy and one of their own, and receives a partial reimbursement for their Internet costs. The academy supplies all textbooks, workbooks, math manipulatives, and science and art materials.

Andrew Kneeland is a student at the Arizona Virtual Academy. He is an intern at the Green Valley News.
