Students and families, whether new or returning, must apply to Chesapeake Virtual Academy annually. The application window typically opens in January and closes in March. The application process provides families with clear expectations of what is required of CVA students, including a year commitment for full-time students, and other information to help students decide if CVA is right for them. Families should understand that submitting an application is not a guarantee of acceptance because seats are limited and course offerings are subject to change based on enrollment and course requests.

Please access the application in the appropriate area (elementary, middle, high) below.
