{"A":"Henrico County Public Schools","B":"Henrico Virtual Academy","C":"When Henrico County Public Schools opened a new school for the 2021-22 school year, there were none of the typical challenges of last-minute construction. Instead of paving and paint, administrators and teachers were more concerned with interactive lessons, servers and bandwidth.    The Henrico Virtual Academy, an entirely virtual K-12 school with a student body of more than 1,300, uses a mix of live classes and independent learning. The school has its own administrators, faculty, PTSA, clubs and other mainstays of brick-and-mortar schools.     While the school grew out of virtual instruction methods pioneered during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is taking its place among a host of HCPS learning options that include career and technical education, and middle and high school specialty centers. While some students found virtual learning a challenge, others have thrived in an online environment that emphasizes flexibility and independent work.
