High School Academics

Curriculum That Unlocks Possibilities

Wyoming Virtual Academy (WYVA) knows success is not a single destination, and the journey can take many turns. But no matter the path, we believe in unlocking every learner’s potential by meeting them where they are and helping them reach their goals.

As students move through middle school and into high school, their work becomes increasingly independent. High school courses are designed for students targeting a four-year university, a local community college, or an immediate career.

Many high school courses are offered at three levels: on-level, honors, and Advanced Placement® (AP®).

In all three course levels, students:

  • Learn grade-level content
  • Complete coursework that might require writing or research projects
  • Tackle problems that require analytical thinking

In honors courses, students also:

  • Evaluate and synthesize information
  • Demonstrate more advanced writing skills
  • Participate in honors projects

In AP® courses, students prepare to take the AP® exam in a particular subject. Their AP® exam score may allow them to receive college credit, as determined by the college.


At WYVA, eligible students in grades 11 and 12 have the opportunity to take advanced courses tuition-free and receive up to 32 credits to apply both to their school diploma and a post-secondary degree.

Eligibility is based on student GPA, state assessment score, and principal recommendation. WYVA conducts an approval process to ensure the course is cleared for high school credit and to determine how it will be applied to the student’s transcript.

*The K12 high school catalog is a complete list of the high school courses K12 provides. While WYVA offers a comprehensive selection of courses, not every K12 high school course is available to WYVA students. Information on specific courses of study and available electives are provided upon enrollment. For details, please speak to an enrollment consultant during the enrollment process.

**Many Microsoft®️ Office certificates can be earned after completing one course. Other certificates require more classes to be better prepared, and students who participate in the program for at least two years will have further preparation for certification testing.
