Online school has really helped my mental health in so many ways. Having a flexible schedule lets me work at my own pace without feeling rushed or overwhelmed, which has made learning a lot more enjoyable. So I am able to get activities such as horseback riding, dance, and spending time with my family in. I love that I can focus on what works best for me and take breaks when I need them—it’s made a big difference in how I feel day to day. Since starting online school, I’ve noticed my stress levels have gone down and my motivation has gone up. When I was in person I would be surrounded by many distractions whether it be classmates or even my phone, since going online I have been able to focus more on the subject and having a deeper understanding. I am also able to work at my own pace (within reason) which has been very beneficial. I can spend more time in lessons I do not understand and more in ones where I have an hard idea grasping the subject. It’s also given me the chance to work as an intern at East Juniata Elementary, where I get real hands-on experience helping students. Overall, online school has made me feel more balanced, confident, and happy with where I’m headed. -JCVA Senior

I chose JCVA because it is flexible and allows me to get my work done ahead of time if I have other things to do. I don’t have to worry about being behind or not having enough time because I can get all my work done while I’m also involved with a sport. JCVA helps with time management, balancing sports, and balancing a job all at the same time but still making it easy to do all at once. -JCVA Senior

My experience with JCVA is already going amazing! This program is perfect for me, it doesn't take long to figure out, and i'm able to work on my schoolwork anytime of the day, which helps me a lot with getting all my work done. The teachers are nice, and don't assign super hard work. If you’re thinking about joining JCVA, do it!! – JCVA Freshman

JCVA has allowed me to adapt and prepare for my career choice which is traveling with race teams across the country. Not all careers begin after graduation or are available at any time. If you are not in a position to be available when an opportunity arises you will get passed by and miss opportunities of a lifetime. JCVA has allowed me to continue with my senior credits that I am required to have for graduation but also enable myself to continue in the workforce and pursue opportunities before graduation. I appreciate Juniata County School District supporting the JCVA option and allowing opportunities that best fit the students. – JCVA Senior

Hi, I chose JCVA because it gives me time to be flexible with work and everything else i like to enjoy outside of school. I’m able to finish my work when I want and then go and work, or enjoy time with family. It’s a great program that is very flexible! – JCVA Senior
