New Online School Promotes Learning at Students' Pace

Fayetteville Virtual Academy, a part of Fayetteville Public Schools, will open later this year with 100 students in grades four through eight.

We speak with JoAnna Lever, director of Fayetteville Virtual Academy, about what to expect with the new learning option.
