Summer Term offers a condensed learning experience, compressing the typical 16-week Fall/Spring term into just 6 weeks. Here's what to expect:
- Time Commitment: Students are expected to actively engage daily, dedicating approximately 20 hours per week to both online and offline activities for a 0.5 unit class, such as Personal Fitness or Biology B. For students taking a 1.0 unit class or two 0.5 unit classes, such as Health and Personal Fitness or Advanced Algebra Y, the commitment increases to approximately 40 hours per week.
- Structure and Flexibility: Cobb Virtual Academy (CVA) classes are asynchronous, allowing students to work when it suits them best. While there are no regular live sessions, each student will have a synchronous welcome meeting with their teacher, and optional in-person or virtual support is available through CVA Learning Centers. Students may work ahead but must follow all deadlines in the Class Schedule. We recommend reviewing the full schedule at the start of the term to stay on track with class and due date expectations.
Summer Term registration will open at 9AM on Tuesday, April 15, 2025.

Technical Requirements and Travel
CVA does not recommend using an iPad/tablet or mobile phone to complete assignments. CVA classes are delivered via the Cobb Teaching and Learning System (CTLS). CTLS is geo-restricted so it is only accessible within the physical boundaries of the United States. Using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) while traveling outside the United States may help you access content that is geo-restricted. Please see the bottom of the CVA FAQ page for more information.
Personal Fitness and Heart Rate Monitor Information
CVA’s Summer Personal Fitness class is a fast-paced course that integrates fitness concepts with actual workouts. The CVA Personal Fitness class consists of 3 components: workouts (60% of grade), assignments and portfolio (30% of grade), and the final exam (10% of grade). Students may work ahead in the class to complete and submit written assignments. Workouts will begin the week of May 26th, but students can start their workouts earlier if they have equipment and complete their welcome phone call with their teacher. Due to the nature of the course and workout policy, students cannot “double up” on workouts in one day. Following the course objectives, students will work out consistently: 5 times a week for 5 consecutive weeks. Regardless of Summer plans, students must complete all workouts outlined in the class schedule. The workout charts and written assignments must be submitted by the due date.
CVA Personal Fitness students will have the option of using their own personal heart rate monitor or a program-issued one. Equipment distribution details for students using program-issued heart rate monitors will be sent to the students after registering. They must pick it up from Cobb Virtual Academy on an assigned date. If needed, students may set up an online meeting with their CVA teacher to learn how to use the program-issued equipment. With the guidance of their instructors, students will use the heart rate monitoring device to track and progress toward their physical goals. Personal devices must be able to upload screenshots of workouts that include the following information: Date/time of workout, duration of workout, heart rate data graph, and average heart rate.
