California Virtual Academies (CAVA) is part of a network of virtual public charter schools, founded in the summer of 2002. It is sponsored by a small number of school districts spread throughout California.^{[citation needed]} Since it is a part of the public school system^{[citation needed]}, no tuition is charged and computer equipment is loaned to enrolled students. Students are invited to some regular school activities to compensate for the reduced social interaction as they are not going to a school building each day. Parents still report daily attendance and certified teachers monitor student progress, but beyond this level of support, the experience is close to that of homeschooling.
