Virtual Academy is 100 percent online.
STISD is the only all-magnet school district in the state, and offers Valley students an educational alternative. The district provides a personal environment, a strong scholastic program and hands-on training in vocational career fields.
Because STISD is a public school district, there is no cost for students to attend one of its six campuses, and bus transportation is also free of charge.
STISD schools maintain an open enrollment policy, meaning any student that wants to attend one of our seven campuses can as long as he or she resides within the tri-county area we serve.
At Virtual Academy, meet curious, collaborative and driven students just like you.
At Virtual Academy, there's more to experience than solely academics. Explore what life is like as an STISD student, and be part of the many virtual + in-person competitive sporting + academic opportunities.
The community here at Virtual Academy is diverse, interactive and vibrant. We take pride in each and every position that plays a part in making our district unique and consistently ranked among the best in the state and nation.
If you are looking for spunk and excitement and non-traditional methods of learning, the Virtual Academy community is the perfect match and offers endless opportunities.

Welcome to Volume 4 of the STISD College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) Newsletter, the last one for the 2023-2024 school year.
In this quarterly newsletter, students and parents will find important information regarding FAFSA, scholarships, Dual Credit, testing, CTE Programs of Study and mandatory deadlines.
These two are quite the duo - similar yet different and bring their own unique flare despite the obvious.
Our students in frame: Timothy and Samuel Qin enjoy basketball, swimming, chess, piano playing, competing in UIL academic events and hanging out with friends - and the best part: they get to do it all together.
There's often a silent exchange from STISD's first-ever Coca-Cola scholar and soon-to-be grad walking the halls, a student that just keeps going and going and going. Behind that silence, there's a whole lot of sleepless nights, sweat, and tears that others don't see, shaping quite the esteemed and accomplished individual, leading to the beauty behind it all.
Alfia is one of 150 high school seniors from an initial pool of 103,800+ applications from across the country to be named a 2024 Coca-Cola Scholar. That's less than 1/6th of 1% of applicants. 😮 Pretty impressive, don't you think?
