{"A":"Fauquier County Public Schools","B":"FCPS Virtual Academy","C":"At Fauquier County Public Schools, we believe in giving each student what they need in order to succeed. While we realize that face-to-face, in-person instruction is best for most of our students, it is not best for all. Some students thrive in a virtual learning environment and can benefit from a stand-alone virtual program. The FCPS Virtual Academy launched in August of 2021 as another personalized learning path to provide an engaging, student-centered alternative learning experience where traditional barriers of time, place, and availability are removed.      Each Virtual Academy student has his\/her own unique story. This year, the over 170 students who chose Virtual Academy learned from a cadre of 9 full-time and 12 part-time teachers. With a mix of synchronous and asynchronous learning throughout the school day, students accessed their instruction through Canvas and Google Meet.
