SIMI VALLEY, Calif., Aug. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On September 1, Sacramento area students will take a few steps from the breakfast table to their computers at home to log in for their first day of school through California Virtual Academy @ Sutter (CAVA @ Sutter), a full-time, online public charter school for students in grades K-12.

CAVA @ Sutter is part of a network of 11 independent charter schools in California that use the K¹² online curriculum to offer students in grades K–12 an exceptional learning experience. Families enroll in CAVA @ Sutter for a wide variety of reasons. Some students are advanced learners, motivated to increase their knowledge beyond the basic course offerings, while others are athletes or performers looking to balance a full schedule.  Innovative technology combined with a strong partnership between families and teachers makes it possible to focus on each student's unique academic needs, and gives a growing number of Sacramento area students a powerful educational option to reach their true potential.

"As the school year begins, we are thrilled to give our students greater freedom to learn in the way that best suits them," said Kimberly Odom, Director of Special Education. "Each student receives quality instruction and support in a one-on-one setting as they grow throughout the year."

Students who enroll at CAVA @ Sutter follow an academic program that includes engaging web-based lessons along with age-appropriate instructional materials – books, videos, CDs and other hands-on tools and resources – all of which are shipped directly to each student's home.
