Check out the great work that our students do at Georgia Virtual School!
Laqeet is a most promising student. He is only in 7th grade but has mastered high-school level work masterfully and admirably in several content areas. He is dedicated and determined. When he sets his mind to something, it will get accomplished. Laqeet is currently in German 2A and has completed all course work already, waiting patiently for the final exam to be released. He attends the live learning sessions regularly and asks deep questions. Laqeet is genuinely interested in the content and eager to learn and understand concepts thoroughly. The sky is the limit for this young man. I am privileged to have been his teacher.
Matthew is an "achiever." He loves the Spanish language and his interest in the language and culture makes it seem easy to him. As a GaVS student, he was the first to complete a new requirement in Spanish II AB, the Capstone Project. It was an outstanding work of art for a student at his level. I recommended his work to be showcased at our Cognia Accreditation Review. He finished the Spanish II AB course in the last week of October with the final exam yet to come in December. Meanwhile he asked for extra resources in order to maintain and keep abreast of the language and culture. He plans on taking Spanish III AB and from there to AP Spanish Language. I recommended he focuses on listening to the target language by associating himself with native speakers and putting the language to use. I also suggested that he was an ideal candidate to study abroad in Spain or any other Spanish-speaking country. Second language learning online is very difficult for many students, but Matthew found time to include his GaVS course to his daily routine which made it achievable. This young man truly deserves to be recognized for his efforts and accomplishments.
Samuel is one of the most impressive students I have had over my 4 years with GaVS. He is extremely dedicated to learning and always puts forth 100% effort. He did so well in my course that I joked that he could easily teach the content to others. Samuel's Capstone Project was nothing short of amazing. He applied the content of Geometry to one of his passions in life, theater, to discuss proportions and ratios for a set designer for a musical production of Jack and the Beanstalk. His communication with me was always polite, grammatically correct, and included a greeting and a thank you. Samuel made grading his assignments easy as he always showed his work in an organized manner. Nominating him for the Student Spotlight was a no-brainer!
Rahdeed is an outstanding Georgia Virtual School student. He is the type of student that our program was designed to serve well. He takes all of his classes with GaVS, chooses rigorous courses, and excels in every one of them. He learns all he can absorb in the hours of the day. He goes above and beyond the requirements for assignments and projects demonstrating research, depth of knowledge, and critical thinking. In addition, he gives much back to the program and to his classmates. He is willing to participate, share insights, and encourage others in Live Learning classes and in Discussions. He is intuitive and shows empathy in his responses. Rahdeed is focused on long-term career goals, but still finds time to pursue his passion for music, art, and African History. Rahdeed is humble, self-motivated, inspires others, and does not seek recognition, but he is deserving of the spotlight.
Susan is a student who works diligently to succeed in all of her academic endeavors. She is currently a student in the SAT Preparation course. Each assignment she submits is indicative of great attention to detail as well as creative effort. Susan's efforts will be evident in the score she obtains on her SAT test, but are even more indicative of her overall dedication to her education. As a result of her work ethic, she has been named valedictorian of her graduation class in her local school system. Congratulations Susan!
Jerry is an extremely gifted student whose journey is marked by a trail of remarkable accomplishments and accolades. As a musician, he’s been to GMEA All-State Chorus 4 times and received a perfect score during his 2023 audition. He has also passed All-State Reading Chorus’s rigorous Reading Chorus audition which only has 25 available spots for the Bass part. In his sophomore year, he received the Director's Award for being the top leader of his High School Chorus. Through the influence of his leadership, his chorus has achieved all superiors during LGPE in all of his high school years. What else does he do? Jerry is a part of the Principal’s Advisory Committee, Ultimate Frisbee varsity team, Asian Student Union, and FASCA. In 2019, he studied abroad as a full-time student in Changhua, Taiwan. There, he increased in knowledge of Mandarin Chinese, culture, and global awareness. Although his high school does not offer Mandarin, Jerry studies it through the Georgia Virtual School. Throughout his high school career, he has completed all levels of Chinese provided by GaVS. In the summer of 2023, Jerry had the privilege of receiving a scholarship to attend Georgia Tech’s Pre-College Building Construction (BC) Summer Camp program. He hopes to continue studying Construction Science and Management at Georgia Tech during his undergraduate college career.
Sienna was one of the few students in all of my years of teaching with Georgia Virtual School that attended over 90 percent of the synchronous sessions for our online class. In addition, Sienna is going to the University of Pennsylvania as a gymnastics athlete. Her dedication to her studies as well as her out of school activities should be celebrated. Georgia Virtual School and the options we are able to offer advances the potential and future of so many students in our state. Both are things we should celebrate.
