School Overview

Rayvencrest is a private virtual microschool designed for middle and high school students who need a more supportive, personalized learning environment than traditional schools offer.

Our goal is to create a space where students feel safe, respected, and able to engage fully in their learning. Instruction is individualized and focused on building real understanding, critical thinking, and meaningful skills.

We maintain a respectful and inclusive environment at all times. Behavior that harms others is not permitted.

Enrollment

Rayvencrest operates on a full academic year model. Students are expected to enroll before the school year begins and remain enrolled for the full year.

Enrollment is limited to maintain small class sizes. Mid-year enrollment is only available if space allows.

A non-refundable registration fee is required to secure a student’s spot. Parent and student meetings are required before enrollment to ensure the program is a good fit.

Academic Structure

Students attend live classes Monday through Thursday, with three classes each day.

Each class is 45 minutes, with 15-minute breaks in between.

Math is completed through an individualized program outside of live instruction.

Learning is mastery-based, meaning students progress based on understanding rather than just completing assignments.

Fridays are used for flexible learning, including projects, additional support, tutoring, field experiences, or community service.

Graduation Requirements

Students working toward a diploma are expected to complete a full course of study.

This includes:

4 English
4 Math
4 Science
4 Social Studies
8 Electives

A minimum of 24 credits is required unless an individualized plan is approved.

Credits are awarded based on demonstrated understanding and completion of coursework.

Attendance

Students are expected to attend live classes whenever possible, as this provides the most direct instruction and support.

All classes are recorded and available at any time. If a student cannot attend live, they are expected to watch the recording and complete all assigned work.

Attendance is based on participation and completion of work, not just on logging in to a class.

If a student consistently fails to participate, the school may step in to provide support or adjust expectations.

Student Expectations

Students are expected to:

Follow instructions
Participate appropriately
Use respectful language
Treat others with respect
Stay engaged in their learning

Bullying, harassment, or harmful behavior is not permitted.

Behavior and Discipline

When behavior issues occur, the goal is to maintain a productive learning environment.

Depending on the situation, the school may:

Give a warning
Briefly redirect behavior
Mute a student’s microphone or turn off their camera
Address the issue later that day when possible
Remove a student from a live class if necessary
Restrict access to certain features
Involve parents

Students are not removed from the school for behavior. Removal only occurs for non-payment.

The school does not monitor behavior outside of school. However, if behavior is brought to our attention, we may address it.

Technology Use

Students are expected to use school platforms appropriately.

This means:

No sharing login information
No recording or sharing of class content
No misuse of chat, camera, or microphone
No accessing inappropriate content
No attempting to bypass systems

Students are responsible for anything done under their account.

Technology Requirements

Students must have:

Reliable internet
A device with a working camera and microphone

Cameras are required during live classes unless an exception has been pre-approved.

Recordings

All live classes are recorded.

Recordings are available to all enrolled students and can be accessed at any time.

Students and families may not record or share class content.

Privacy and Data

Student information is kept secure and used only for school purposes.

Access to information is limited to appropriate individuals.

While we take reasonable steps to protect data, no system can guarantee complete security.

Communication

Communication takes place through email and the learning platform.

Families are expected to check both regularly.

The school responds within a reasonable timeframe during business hours.

Meetings must be scheduled in advance.

Parent Expectations

Parents play an important role in student success.

Parents are expected to:

Stay in communication
Be reachable during school hours
Attend required meetings
Support their student’s learning

Emergency and Location

Students should attend from their registered address unless their address has been updated in advance.

Parents must be reachable during school hours.

Because the school is virtual, we cannot verify a student’s physical location in real time.

In an emergency, the school will use the last known address and contact parents and/or emergency services if needed.

Virtual Learning Environment

Rayvencrest provides instruction only. We do not supervise students physically.

Families are responsible for ensuring students are in a safe environment and supervised when needed.

Technology Limitations

The school is not responsible for:

Internet issues
Device problems
Platform outages

Students are still responsible for completing their work.

Tuition and Payments

Tuition is paid in advance and is non-refundable.

Failure to make payments may result in loss of access and removal from the school.

Academic Integrity

Students must complete their own work. Students may not copy answers, have another person complete their work, or use AI or other tools to generate answers for them.

Progress Reporting

Student progress is tracked and shared through the learning platform.

Parents can review progress and attend conferences.

Withdrawal and Enrollment

Enrollment is for the full school year.

The school may adjust participation if needed.

Removal from the school occurs only for non-payment.

Non-Discrimination

Rayvencrest does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, gender, disability, age, religion, or any other legally protected class.
