UVA students can expect a full load of courses and enriching activities during the school year.
K-8 courses are determined by the student's grade level and approved accommodations.
High school courses are determined by the student's chosen pathway towards graduation and earned credits.
Students select a TOPS University Diploma Pathway or a Jump Start Pathway (for career and technical education). Learn more about Louisiana's graduation pathways for public school students here, and learn about UVA's pathways towards graduation here .
Academic counselors work very closely with families to guide students towards the intended graduation date along the student's chosen pathway.
Year-long courses are split into two semesters. Some high school courses are only one semester long.

And remember, we are here to support you as well.
