Perry County Schools Virtual Academy is a distance learning option for those students in grades K-12 who wish to continue their education full-time through alternative learning environments. It provides an option for those students who seek an alternative to face-to-face instruction due to the medical vulnerability of the child or another family member who resides in the same household.
