ALVS Header About Us

At Apex Learning Virtual School (ALVS), we believe in putting students first. We provide students and families around the world with a unique, innovative educational experience that sets them up for success.

Our Beginnings

In 1997, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen created Apex Learning to deliver online Advanced Placement courses to students in rural areas. His vision would grow to include a comprehensive catalog of Courses and Tutorials for students in grades 6–12 and a full-time program for grades K–12. In 2021, Apex joined the Edmentum family, expanding our reach to bring high-quality digital curriculum and flexible virtual learning to millions of students and families worldwide.

A Letter from Our Head of School

Greetings,

Welcome to Apex Learning Virtual School (ALVS). Here, we believe that every student should have the opportunity to succeed regardless of their location, schedule or interests.

Our mission is to help students achieve their academic potential by delivering high-quality online education with flexible scheduling options. ALVS empowers students to control when, where and how fast they progress through their courses.

We are committed to fulfilling our mission by combining strong academics with the advantages of online education. We provide a learning experience that engages students through challenge, variety, interactivity and support. Our faculty and staff consistently communicate, accommodate multiple learning styles, respect others’ perspectives and act with integrity.

We strive to meet your student where they are and allow them the opportunity to achieve their personal goals while attending our online school.

I am honored to be a part of each and every student’s educational journey at ALVS. Thank you for choosing our team to serve you! Please do not hesitate to contact me directly with any questions or concerns about our program.
