The world is ready for passionate people eager to make it a better place, and we want our students to rise to the challenge. Expert educators inspire students to think beyond themselves in a comprehensive spectrum of classes that are a blend of group, one-on-one, and independent learning for an enriching and diverse learning experience. Our cornerstone high school seminar, Society and Me (SAM), inspires our students to develop innovative solutions to our communities’ most pressing problems. Through this highly engaging work, students partner with community organizations/non-profits and leaders to analyze and tackle complex, global issues. This unique journey in learning and growth mindset is enhanced by the flexibility that Cushman Virtual students have to experience the world outside classroom walls and ultimately become Innovators of Change.

Our Curriculum
Cushman Virtual offers a self-driven, personalized, character building and academically rigorous curriculum enriched with engaging and unique experiences to ensure our students are empowered to become courageous, compassionate, and entrepreneurial global students. Our teachers are required to write a minimum of one paragraph in their report card narratives, giving extensive detail about how the student is performing academically and personally in class, with a focus on student’s strengths, ways they have grown as students, and objective feedback on ways to improve.
6th-8th Grade
The middle grades (6-8) are a time of transition and discovery for students – at Cushman Virtual, we have developed robust programming to help our middle school students gain their individual voices and give students the opportunity to explore new interests and fine-tune talents. Our flexible, personalized academic program encourages them to take increasing ownership of their learning while nurturing leadership and collaboration skills.
9th-12th Grade
From 9th through 12th grade, we allow individual students to move at their own pace and level through increasingly challenging and varied course offerings. Our personalized approach allows them to identify and pursue their passions through electives in the arts and sciences, opportunities to make an impact through our signature SAM initiative, and the life-changing option to participate in a range of local and global programs.
