What grades are included in the middle school program?
Gardner Edgerton Virtual School’s middle school program serves Grades 5 through 8. It’s purpose-built for this transitional stage, helping students strengthen the academic and organizational skills they’ll rely on in high school.
How does GEVS prepare students for high school?
Alongside core academics, we deliberately develop independence, time management, and durable study habits. Students learn to stay organized, hit deadlines, and own their work — exactly what high school will ask of them.
How much support do middle schoolers get?
Certified teachers guide students through their coursework with feedback and regular check-ins, and families are kept in the loop through consistent communication so students stay on course academically and personally.
Does my child follow a daily schedule?
Yes, students follow a daily guide that helps keep them organized and progressing through their coursework. At the same time, there’s plenty of flexibility built into the day, allowing students to complete their work at times that fit their routine.
Can students work ahead or get extra help if needed?
Both. Students can accelerate when a subject clicks or spend more time where they need it, with teachers ready to step in with extra guidance. Each student learns at the pace that works for them.
How do teachers communicate with students and parents?
Through the learning platform, email, and scheduled check-ins. Parents always know how their child is progressing, what’s due, and where extra support might help.
What if my child struggles with motivation or organization?
That’s precisely what these years are for. Our program brings the structure, guidance, and accountability that help students build those muscles over time, and we partner closely with families when a student needs extra encouragement.
What technology is required to participate?
A reliable internet connection and a computer, tablet, or laptop — that’s it. Lessons, assignments, and teacher communication all run through the platform, and our team can help with setup questions before you begin.
Is the program really tuition-free?
Yes. Gardner Edgerton Virtual School is a tuition-free online public school option for eligible Kansas students. Families pay no enrollment or tuition costs.
