Virtual Academy enrollment priority will be given to resident LAUSD students.  Families requesting an incoming inter-district permit should be aware that requests are pending until all LAUSD resident students who choose the Virtual Academy are enrolled.  Students should not check out of their current school/District of Residence until final approval has been granted.  Families may also want to contact their District of Residence to learn what independent study options are available through their district.
