Each student works with a standard curriculum, participates in small group sessions and completes independent work in order to earn grade level credits and pass any mandatory testing. Students are expected to abide by ethical academic standards. Academic dishonesty— including plagiarism, cheating or copying the work of another, using technology for illicit purposes, or any unauthorized communication between students for the purpose of gaining advantage during an examination—is strictly prohibited. – PKVA Academic Integrity Policy covers all school-related tests, quizzes, reports, class assignments, and projects, both in and out of class.
      A full Academic Integrity and Code of Conduct can be found in our handbook.
      Withdrawal of students requires a minimum of five (5) Business days in order to process requests. All withdrawal requests must be submitted in writing by the student’s parent or legal guardian.

      Official transcripts are provided once the academic year (10 Months) is completed, and all commitments are fulfilled.
