Cyber Village Academy (or CVA for short,) is a charter school based in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Cyber Village Academy is an exciting, innovative charter school sponsored by Minneapolis Public Schools and supported by the Minnesota Department of Education.
CVA serves children in grades 4 - 8 through its three academic programs: Middle Years Program, PASCAL, and the Hospitalized/Homebound Learning Program
Most CVA students attend on-campus classes three days per week and complete online learning activities two days per week from their home computer.
