LAVA Info

LAVA (Lehighton Area Virtual Academy) Information

Every school year, parents/guardians research options and programs available for the educational path of their child(ren).  LAVA--Lehighton Area Virtual Academy--is our 100% online cyber program that can fit your child’s educational needs.

There has been a lot of advertising on radio, social media, and TV for “other” cyber-charter schools.  They are advertising that their school is a “tuition free option”, which it really is not.  Your home district of residence (LASD) has to pay tuition for your student to attend their cyber-charter school.  The Lehighton Area School District pays $12,890.87 per year for ONE student to attend a cyber-charter school.  The district pays $30,394.30 per year for ONE student who receives special education services to attend a cyber-charter school.  This ultimately affects the budget and could result in increasing taxes.

Please peruse the LAVA website to see what our program has to offer.  The decision to enroll your child in LAVA vs. another cyber-charter school directly affects you!
