What is CORE & What MORE do students have access to?
Since EVA enables students to design the learning experience that works best for them, we have organize the model into "Core Experiences" that every student will engage in and "Additional Supports and Experiences," which students will opt into as needed. Read on to learn more about the key parts of the EVA model and how they come together into a powerful week of learning.
(Note: "Additional Supports" may become mandatory when necessary to support student success)
So, what might a week look like?
So, what might a week look like?
No two weeks will look exactly the same since students tailor it based on their goals and progress. But this illustrative schedule gives you a picture. It's a mix of independent work on your core courses with a set of real-time meetings where students get targeted support or collaborate with peers.

This space is designed for students to connect, center themselves for the day, and to nurture the life and wellness skills that are essential for success but often undervalued in school. The time is spent in a mix of whole school gatherings and with a consistent small group of students who serve as the "home base" for the year.

The student government assembly serves EVA by voicing and addressing student opinions and needs, raising funds, supporting and sponsoring programs, activities, and events. The primary goals of Student Government are to create a memorable experience for all students in EVA, to promote unity and spirit, and to grow as student leaders.
MON - THURS

DEEP DIVE LESSONS
(every 3 weeks)
(mandatory)
Deep dive lessons are mandatory sessions held once every three weeks that focus on critical thinking skills crucial for your academic performance. These sessions account for 50 percent or more of your grade, and you must turn in your live lesson assignment to be marked as present.
VARIES
TESTING
(some weeks)
(mandatory)
Assessments are vital for measuring academic growth and ensuring college readiness. State testing is mandatory for all students, including the CAASPP and CAST, and we track continuous progress throughout the year using STAR assessments, school-year Interims, and Lexile and Quantile growth.
DIGITAL COURSEWORK
(every day, independent)
(mandatory)
We leverage Pearson's online courses to cover the primary coursework required for a CA diploma. This online coursework is designed to help students learn independently, at any time of day, with just a computer and an internet connection.
At EVA, we strike a perfect balance between structure and flexibility. Students benefit from the structure of 2-3 week units with set deadlines, while also having the flexibility to work at their own pace within each unit. We monitor their progress to ensure students dedicate consistent time each week to their studies. Weekly progress reports are sent home, and we inform students and families if there are any concerns about engagement.
If students get stuck or need extra support, they can reach out to their teachers through chat or attend Study Hall.
1:1 COACH
(1x/week)
(mandatory)
Students are paired with a coach who they meet with weekly. These sessions are extremely important because it is how we personalize their education. We make sure to set personal goals with your student and build the habits of success that enables students to thrive at EVA and beyond (finding their passion, time management, asking for help, etc).
