Every morning, students start the day together in an advisory. 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.

• Students have the privilege to keep their camera off during advisory if they put a profile picture of themself. Students can lose their camera off privilege if they have a pattern of being off-task.

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 3-4 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. 

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). 

Across the year, students will propose and complete projects that enable them to explore passions and possible career paths. This might look like completing independent study on the future of AI or interning with a local non-profit to learn about child development. 

After advisory, students have the option to attend study hall in order to connect with subject-matter educators to get targeted support in their coursework. They can bring questions that are coming up in their digital coursework, get feedback, or sign up to go deeper in a specific area. 

Once a quarter, students come together for an excursion. In addition to creating the opportunity to build community in-person, they are set up to expose students to future possibilities -- college campuses or exciting workplaces. 

We prioritize the holistic health of our students, including offering access to a trained specialist who supports social and emotional wellbeing. Students can request access to this support through their 1:1 coach or by filling out an anonymous referral.

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.
