Sometimes, life serves us with challenges that we want to quickly move away from to what may seem to be an obvious and better solution. However, there are still processes we must endure and rules we must follow.  

When your student's application is submitted, there are several steps that must be taken to ensure that Virtual Academy of Learning is the best educational platform for the success of the student.  There are several factors that are required for a student's consideration.  Once it is determined that all factors and considerations are or are not in alignment for the success of the student, the parent will receive an email with the application update that will read "SELECTED" or "Non-Select" in the subject line.  Most of the time, the email goes to the SPAM folder. Therefore, it is important to watch the SPAM folder for an email that may be from an email address that reads, "noreplyregistration@powerschool.com". All applications are accepted. Not all are selected.

It is the responsibility of the parent to make sure the email address put on the application is correct.  

You can apply by clicking the link above to submit an application.

Instruction will be delivered virtually by Alabama certified teachers working through the state-approved learning management system. Students must be supported by an adult in the house to ensure academic success. 

AP and advanced courses will be offered in grades 6-12. IB courses will not be offered for students. 

Yes, students can enroll in ACCESS (Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators & Students Statewide) to receive credit. 

Each student will be issued a BCS-owned electronic device along with instructions on how to navigate an online learning environment if it is desired. Wi-Fi devices are also available for students when needed.  All devices are to be returned before graduation for 12th Grade and by June 10, 2023 for all other grade levels.

For device return, first time pick-up, or damaged device exchange, book an appointment here:  Devices and Wi-Fi
