Queen Creek Virtual Academy

The Queen Creek Virtual Academy (QCVA) provides an engaging online community that develops independent and global learners.

With virtual platforms (Imagine Edgenuity for secondary students and Schoolsplp for elementary students), QCVA offers core content, electives, advanced placement, and honors classes that meet Arizona state standards and follows the QCUSD calendar. Students can work 25 hours a week at the time of day best suited for them. Our QCVA facilitators provide support through small groups or one-on-one virtual meetings and tutoring.

Here at QCVA, we help students prepare for success in a virtual environment and eventually achieve virtually anything they seek.

Time Log

QCVA students must document all their academic activities weekly through ParentVUE. Time spent on activities such as studying, working on an essay, preparing for a test, completing coursework, meeting with facilitators, tutoring, physical exercise, brain breaks, and similar activities should be counted/documented. Reporting activity time is required by the Department of Education and is an important requirement of QCVA. Students who do not submit time into ParentVUE when it is due will have their courses deactivated until the time is entered.

QCVA students are required to log time into ParentVUE on a weekly basis, reporting at least 25 hours per week. Please see our Time Tracking in ParentVUE instruction sheet for more information.

*Note: Students with ten consecutive days of no activity will be withdrawn from QCVA.

Live Sessions

All facilitators offer live sessions where students can join a Google Meet and ask for assistance virtually and in real-time. Students can participate in small group or one-on-one personal tutoring sessions with facilitators. This information will be shared by the subject facilitator via school Gmail where students can schedule an appointment for support in their core courses.

Credit Recovery

Credit recovery is only offered in core academic subjects (math, science, English, social studies). A credit is earned in a credit recovery course when a relative grade of “D” or better is achieved. Students that finish with an “F” earn zero credits for the course and must retake the course to earn the required credit. Credit recovery courses are condensed versions of the full course. Each unit begins with a ten-question pre-test for that unit. A score of 70% or higher indicates mastery and the unit will be skipped. Students can move quickly through CR courses when they put effort into passing the pre-test. Students taking the credit recovery course will not earn a letter grade. Instead, they will receive a pass or fail credit based on a relative score of 60% or higher.

What educational platform does QCVA use?

QCVA uses the programs Imagine Edgenuity for grades 7–12 and Schoolsplp for grades K–6. However, we do have certified and highly qualified teachers and staff to support students with their academic needs.

Is there a certain time students must sign on each day?

Students are expected to log five hours per day. This includes their work both on and off the computer. The program is self-paced and available 24 hours a day. We do not have set times for students to work, but we encourage students to log in between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. when teachers are available to assist them.

Can QCVA students attend prom at any of the QCUSD high schools?

QCVA students may attend prom as guests. Guest rules and restrictions apply to QCVA students.

Can students still participate in extracurricular activities?

Students can participate in athletics activities that take place before and after school hours. Due to district and school board approval, students that attend QVCA are eligible for all AIA sanctioned activities without transfer penalty as the school they originally attended.

Students that have not attended a QCUSD high school and choose to attend QCVA would only be eligible at the school whose attendance boundaries they reside in. See our Boundaries Map to know which school is in your boundaries.

Out-of-boundary students that choose to attend QCVA and have not established themselves at a QCUSD high school would be ineligible for AIA sanctioned athletics and activities.
