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.
