All SVA teachers are employed by the Sarasota County School District.  Many of them work full time in a brick and mortar school during the day and teach online as an adjunct instructor.  Having a local instructor means that there is a strong working relationship with the counselors, staff, and administration student's brick and mortar location.  These highly qualified instructors are familiar with the district's policies and student progression plans.  You can contact your instructor by phone/text/email, and office hours are available on their course homepage.
