No, Georgia Virtual School does not graduate students. Georgia Virtual School is a program of the Georgia Department of Education and as such does not grant credit or award diplomas. GaVS does provide official documentation of the final grade earned for each completed course. Public and private schools transcribe their students’ GaVS course grades onto the official high school transcript. All students can view/print final grade reports directly from the student account.

GaVS courses labeled A are half unit courses that cover the first semester of course content while courses labeled B are half unit courses that cover the second semester of content. Students on a traditional schedule usually take courses in the half unit format.

AB courses are one full unit of credit that cover the full year (both semesters) of course content in one semester. Students on a block schedule typically take courses in the full unit format.

Yes. All Georgia Virtual School courses are taught by highly-qualified, Georgia-certified teachers.

All Georgia Virtual School courses have a synchronous component where the instructor is live teaching, answering questions, and/or reviewing in preparation for upcoming assignments. These synchronous sessions are not required for students, but they are highly beneficial, and attendance is encouraged.

If the synchronous session is held at a time not convenient to the student’s schedule, the session recording link will be posted within the course. The student can watch the session at a later date.
